The sponsorship application does NOT act as an extension. She needs to apply for that separately.

Of course, an Inland applicant that includes the OWP with the Inland application (in the same envelope) will benefit from something called Implied Status, but it's risky if it's submitted so close to a visitor visa expiry date. If the Inland application, or the OWP is returned, due to an error on the applicant's part (incorrect fee for the OWP [$255, not $155], missing or outdated form(s), missing signature(s), etc.) it could jeopardize the Implied Status.

Besides...you're hopefully submitting an Outland application, because it's usually substantially faster than Inland, right?!

Anyone ? Please

Apply for extension to visitor visa and the reason being you are in the process of preparing your application for PR and need the time to gather the information for the application, together. If that makes sense. That's what we did. We applied for extension 3 weeks before expiry of tourist visa - you are under implied status until you get a response from them. In our case, it took 4 months to get the extension, but while you are waiting it is implied. However, your partner should not leave the country in that time - its risky. Implied status is always risky if you plan to leave and come back. There are no guarantees you can get back in the country - its up to the border officer.
