I have submitted a webform request asking for application number with all our details, representative and consent form. Hopefully they give me in few days.
You can apply for a TRV, but the exemption announced is not an exemption from the usual requirements for getting a TRV (i.e. you might be refused). It is an exemption from the covid ban on travelling. Immediate family members are eligible to get a TRV (those without immediate or extended family will not even be considered unless they qualify for a different exemption), but it is NOT a guarantee that they will get it.Also, for applying TRV for spouse do we need AOR or temporary file number? Or it's possible to receive travel exempt without these details?
Thank you for your time and information.You can apply for a TRV, but the exemption announced is not an exemption from the usual requirements for getting a TRV (i.e. you might be refused).

Armoured explained everything, I don’t understand which part you don’t get.Thank you for your time and information.
Like I'm currently in Canada as a permanent residence and my wife is in India..... would you please suggest any other way that we can apply for some sort of visa so she could come to Canada to live with me?
Note - we have submitted her PR application under family class and yet to receive application number.
The only visa that will let your wife come live with you is the one you've already applied for that's going to take months to get through. Only apply for the TRV if she has strong ties to her home country. Stating that you want her to come live with you will be an upfront denial.Thank you for your time and information.

Others have responded, I disagree only on point "only apply if ties to home country are strong". There's no harm in applying, and no harm in applying multiple times if you want, apart from the time and cost of applying.Like I'm currently in Canada as a permanent residence and my wife is in India..... would you please suggest any other way that we can apply for some sort of visa so she could come to Canada to live with me?

We also don't know whether chances in your specific case are slim or very slim or possibly better. But yes, often TRVs are refused from visa-required countries.
Apart from TRV the only ways I'm aware of that could possibly be faster are other immigration programs such as express entry (if she is able to qualify on her own), for example - but they're not necessarily fast either. Some (like study permits) may not be realistic as they would possibly interpret as an attempt to get around the spousal sponsorship requirements, i.e. not about studying but joining you. But I'm by no means an expert on those other programs.
But by all means apply for TRV. You'll only find out by trying. It's only being realistic for posters here to note that these are often refused.
Maybe they switched to a lottery system...Some positivity: There is a applicant on the April tab that supposedly received AOR1 a couple of days ago. Dumb luck? Cause otherwise <50% of March applicants have AOR yet.
