She is in other country now and wants to apply for BOWP. Can she apply even though her current permit is closed permit and also what will be procedure?

I came as dependant and my Open permit is dependant on her and i am currently in Canada and working. How will i apply my BOWP along with wife's request?

You would apply for an OWP rather than a BOWP (only your spouse qualifies for the BOWP). To qualify for an OWP, your spouse as the primary applicant must be in Canada working in a NOC A, B or 0 role.
