TRV = visitor visa
TRP = permit (used to called minister's permit) is issued to a person who is inadmissible to Canada.

Can I request a TRP on a compassion ground?
My mother is on trv and is sick and in hospital.
I know if you have trp you get health coverage.
I went in the immigration website but do not know how to apply ?

There is no application for TRP.  CIC will not issue a TRP so your mother's health care is covered, she either should have had travel insurance, or will have to make arrangements to pay it herself.

Visa = permission to enter Canada temporarily, granted in advance, and required for any foreign national who is not from a "visa exempt" country.
Permit = permission to enter Canada temporarily, granted in advance to a foreign national who is inadmissible to Canada for some reason.
Someone who enters Canada on a TRP cannot become a PR until the reason they were issued the TRP has been resolved.
