Here is the information: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5487ETOC.asp

Since you already sent in your application for PR, it might be difficult to get her WP since she in not in Canada. One pre-requisite of granting a work permit is that the applicant has to show that she will leave Canada after the WP expires.
