Is it okay if my wife apply from canada for spouse visa and then come to pakistan to live here until I get the PR?
 
if she applies for inland, she cannot leave Canada.

for outland, she can apply outside Canada, she doesnt need to be in Canada.

I'm in Pakistan and she's in Canada right now. She will come back here after 2 months. So I was thinking to apply while she's in Canada and then she comes here in Pakistan. If we apply from here we have to give proofs that we will go to Canada after PR

If your spouse a Canadian PR or citizen?

If she's a Citizen, she can apply for your PR from anywhere in the world.

If she's a PR, she must be residing in Canada to apply, and also during the entire application process.

She's a Canadian Citizen... But if she comes back here in Pakistan and apply from here wouldn't the visa officer ask us for proof that we will go back to canada once we get the PR? Even though we will go to canada right after PR but what proof can we give? :/
 
You can give evidence such as:

- inquire with realtors about buying/renting a home. Print the email correspondence out. Include specifics, such as what kind of home you want to rent/buy, what your budget is, what neighborhood, etc.
- if she has a home, bank account, etc. in Canada, she should include proof of that.
- if you two will be living with her parents/relatives/friends until you find a home and job, you should get a signed letter from them saying they will let you live there, or that they are giving you financial assistance, etc.
- contact potential employers about finding a job, and print out the email correspondence. She doesn't need to prove that she has a job, but she needs to prove that she is looking for a job and wants to find a job for moving back to Canada.

Yes. But even if she applies while in Canada, after she moves back to Pakistan while app is processing CIC may still ask for the same proofs.

If my Father in law is giving us both house and financial assistance is that fine? Also do we need to get letter from him?
 
Yes, your father in law should write a letter explaining that he will offer you both a place to live and financial help. It would probably be a good idea if he is more specific than vague - for example, if he owns an apartment or house that you two could live in for free, he should mention that. Or if he is going to let you live in a room in his house, he should mention that. I think CIC likes details and planning. They want to know that you and your wife have a concrete plan for your lives after settling in Canada.
