Canon lens will only fit Canon cameras. However Canon lens are divided into EF-S and EF. EF will fit all Canon cameras and EF-S will fit only Digital Rebels and some others. Have a look at this page,

5000D is Nikon, so won't fit your mom's lens. For person without any camera experience, then it doesn't matter because nowadays all camera have "auto" mode. You can just point and shoot. Then why not just get a cheap point and shoot? Because a DSLR camera has better feature and lens, even in simple mode it will beat a cheap camera.

buying in HK is cheaper but if you want better warranty and service then buy local.
Another option is buy from Canadian online retailers outside BC, that way you can save on PST. Try McBain, Henry's and the Camera Store.

5000D the camera itself doesn't have "image stabilizer" but some of the lens have it. Nikon calls it "Vibration Reduction" or VR. It's useful more in low light condition. If your mom has shaky hands then this will help for sure. Or get a tripod.

Actually I never buys camera from HK so I don't have the numbers for you. Usually I buy online from Alberta stores, relatively close and no PST.
