Your wife must have been declared in your PR application. Why does she *need* an OWP?

Yes it is still valid, since she has not landed yet.

She is probably OK until she re-enters Canada.

They may expect her to complete her landing then as she will have her IM-1 visa in her passport, even if she already has another visa as well. As soon as she lands, all the visas will be cancelled (without prejudice) and the OWP will also be void.

What I don't know for sure is if she HAS to land on re-entry... Maybe that is your plan anyway?
