So have her extend VR. It is not a good idea if she leaves the country since your permit expires in one year. Plus you having a WP will weaken her profile because IRCC knows she is not a true visitor and has no ties to return. Best to stay in Canada on VR.
TRV - visitor visa stamp

Since my lawyer applied for visitor record for my wife to restore her status as visitor and she get the VR ,is there was a way other than VR he could have applied instead of VR like visitor visa from inside Canada for example ?
Or that was the only option since she is not qualified for SOWP

A VR is to stay in Canada and is cancelled if she leaves. That is what she needed to apply for to stay in Canada with status. A visitor visa is to re-enter Canada if she leaves. She CANNOT apply for a visitor visa inside Canada on visitor record.
So lawyer is correct. You are mixing up the two as VR and TRV are two different applications with different purposes.
VR - maintain status and stay in Canada
TRV - to re-enter Canada as a visitor
Iam when she went out of status after we get refusal for her SOWP extension, they give us 90 day for restoration and since she's not qualified for SOWP so we have to restore as visitor
What he did he restore visitor record with out telling me
And when i find out that she cannot get TRV he told me, you could have told me she need to travel so I could have applied for visitor visa instead of VR
So what he said is true or wrong, is he was able to apply for visitor visa from inside Canada instead of VR

Your lawyer was correct that if SOWP was refused then needed to apply for visitor record to maintain status. If she must leave Canada then she applies for TRV outside Canada. Did lawyer also apply for TRV or just VR?
Then VR is what she needed to maintain status. Doesn't need TRV to stay in Canada. If she MUST leave then she applies for TRV outside Canada but may be refused and not allowed back to Canada. For TRV she needs to show cash and strong ties to return to home country.
