If your wife was on a OWP, then you cannot use visitor visa, you will have to select Temporary Worker in "type"
I played around with the tool with the dates you provided.. please see the below the screen shot..
I assumed that you would sign the application by 3rd Dec 2021 hence the 5 yr validity is upto 2nd Dec 2021

You don't have to provide any work related documents unless you receive a RQ (which, in itself, is a rare request).

Yes, you can provide the name and address shown on T4A.

Question about work history. Do i have to include work that I didnt include when I applied for my PR? I did not claim points for it in express entry anyway.

Yes, you can provide the name and address shown on T4A.

Got it. Thank you

Hi Question is about PCC!!
For last 4 years my Address time line is
2017 NOV to 2018 OCT - INDIA
2018 OCT to PRESENT - CANADA (Permanent Resident)

According Question 10B) I Checked : "YES" as a response, for 183 days or more outside Canada in last 4 years.

Now my question is : For answering PCC part,
Should I obtain a Police Clearance Certificate from INDIA ?
OR
what is the EXPLANATION to write in this case (If PCC is not necessary as India is my country of origin before Permanent Resident)

Thankyou.

If you didn't stay in India for 183 days or more after becoming a PR AND if India was your country of origin before you established PR in Canada, you do NOT need to submit a PCC.

You will check YES to the question and provide an explanation "Not providing PCC for India because India was country of origin immediately before establishing Permanent Residence in Canada" or something to that note.

Hi
I came to Canada in OCT 2018 as Permanent Resident
In Physical Presence Calculator it is asking to give all dates in last 5 years.

*Please list all your absences outside Canada between 2016-11-28 and 2021-11-27 and select 'Add Absence'. Select 'Calculate'

Should I submit my absence before I became Permanent Resident also?? (i.e between 2016-11-28 to OCT 2018 )

in such case what to write , please advise
Thanks

No, you need to just list the absences after you became PR.
