You can apply, whether you get approved is the big question.

Yes absolutely. You will get approved as long as your application shows she meets the requirements of VISA

many people do it. They get visitor visas approved while they are waiting for PR. Totally okay

Website lists panel physicians across the world including in Canada. Not sure what you mean by PR visa

You will need to convince IRCC that you are truly a temporary visitor and not moving to Canada to get approved which is why many don’t get approved. Approval rate is much higher than precovid where almost all TRVs applied for by spouse of Canadian citizens and PRs were denied. Far from guarantee though so don’t make any concrete plans

I meant to ask that she will have to send her passport for stamp for outland application but if she is in Canada, how do I get that done ?

Right now they're mostly doing virtual landings for those in Canada - send info over computer, get the landing doc by email. At any rate, there is a process (and was before covid) so don't worry about it.

Do update addres for spouse in Canada (if spouse gets the visa) upon arrival.

Note there CAN be some timing issues for those who need to travel shortly after getting the passport request, it takes time to get the card, etc.

Given that you are required to update your address of it changes, IRCC should be aware that your spouse is currently in Canada and arrive landing in Canada. One of the reasons keeping address updated and updating as soon as it changes is important.
