Proxy marriages are not recognized in Canada for immigration purposes.

You should be aware that tourists can’t enter Canada at the moment due to travel restrictions. With a TRV you would not qualify to enter Canada.

I know it is not considered in Canada
my question is not that
It is about If she has the right to apply for Visa to enter canada to correct it
One very important factor is your status in Canada. It matters a great deal whether you are in Canada on a temporary visa or whether you have PR / Canadian citizenship.

Since the marriage would not be recognized in Canada, you will not be considered an immediate family member and can't enter Canada at this time.

You mean that if any one has work permit visa canot enter Canada,why
First of all, if you are in Canada with temporary status, then an open work permit is not going to be approved for your partner if you have a proxy marriage. Proxy marriages are not recognized by IRCC. IRCC will not recognize this person as your spouse and will not grant an open work permit. That's your first problem.

Secondly, even if an open work permit is approved, this is not regarded as an essential reason for traveling to Canada. An open work permit means the person has no employer in Canada and therefore there is no reason for them to be coming to Canada at this time. To be able to travel to Canada, the open work permit holder has to either secure a job offer in Canada or obtain special permission from IRCC to travel.
