My mother obtained her Permanent Resident status in 1963 for Canada. She moved back to Europe after 2 years. Is her status still valid? Can she still move back without the immigration process?

nope, it's no longer valid. permanent residency is only valid for 5 years, after that you have to renew it. since she left after only 2 years of staying in Canada, she didn't meet the residency requirements.

No. As soon as she moved out of the country, she was no longer classifiable as a Landed Immigrant. She will have to start the process from scratch.

ask at your nearest Canadian embassy or consulate as to the procedure to re enter
