The best solution is to apply for a 5 days Shenzhen visa on arrival right at the border crossing. It is advised to use Lo Wu / Luohu border crossing and to arrive there at least at 08:30 because Luohu visa office opens at 09:00. It is better to arrive there in the morning in order to avoid major queues.
She/he will bring her/his valid passport and she/he will fill out the relevant form at the border crossing. She/he will take a photo in the same place and pay affordable fee of 130 CNY by card. All major cards are accepted. After the visa is issued, she/he can proceed into Shenzhen, but keep in mind that this visa limits you to Shenzhen city limits. When the time for a flight arrives, she/he will take it. This flight has to be a direct flight to a third country without any additional landing within mainland China. I assume that it will be a Hainan Airlines flight with a nonstop flight to Vancouver. That one is fine if you were thinking about it.
There is also an option to relay on 144 hour visa free transit, but a bit more complicated and it requires her/him to take a ferry from Hong Kong to Shekou port in Shenzhen. If the latter is what you want, just tell me and I will explain the procedure.
