She is a Canadian citizen so getting a TRV is not possible. If you apply, it will be refused.

If both of you have US visas that are valid, then it may be an option to fly to the US and re-enter Canada through a land border. Note that you will need your husband's permission to take your child out of the country unless you have sole custody.

There seems to be more to this story. Where is the father and are they a Canadian citizen? Has your relationship broken down? Have you met the residency requirement as a PR (lived in Canada 2 out of 5 years). When dried your PR card expire? As a Canadian citizen your child should not have been able to travel on a Pakistani passport. If your spouse is unwilling to cooperate or let the child travel this is going to be very difficult.

Seems child previously travelled on Canadian (temporary) passport - to Canada that is. ("She went on temporary passport to canada..") No requirement exists that child must leave Canada/travel to other countries on Canadian passport.

Child needs to apply for Canadian passport. The citizenship certificate and expired passport should be enough to apply, but do check for exact requirements.

If urgent enough, they might issue a temporary passport.

There is, I believe, zero chance that they will issue even an emergency visa in Pakistani passport ("my PR card is about to expire" is not an emergency).

If your relationship broke down before you landed as a PR your spouse should have withdrawn the sponsorship application. Did you even live together in Canada? How long did you spend together in person in Pakistan? If your relationship broke down before you got PR and PR card that could also cause problems. Without your husband’s cooperation it will be very difficult to get citizenship for your child. You need to hire a lawyer and sounds like a divorce lawyer as well.
