You must be living in Canada to sponsor your spouse for PR. Since you are a PR yourself, you cannot sponsor a spouse while living outside of Canada. Details on the process here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/spouse-partner-children.html

Yes - if you wish your spouse to travel with you to Canada now - your spouse would need to apply for a TRV. There is no guarantee the TRV will be approved and we do see a fair amount of refusals on the forum. If your spouse is refused, she will need to remain outside of Canada until the PR application is processed and her PR visa is approved.
