Since you are both legally married and she has a legal resident visitor status in Canada. You may sponsor her under the Spouse or Common-law partner in Canada class......i.e., inland sponsorship application.

You could apply under the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class if your spouse or common-law partner:

• lives with you in Canada
• has valid immigration status in Canada, (i.e.,...your wife must be a legal status e.g., visitor, student visa in Canada as of the date you apply)
  
• would like to apply for, and qualifies for, an Open Work Permit so that they can work while the application is being processed
