If you apply for PR for canada with your wife or any family member and if approved, they wont be your dependent. They'are PR in canada and have full right to work. It's not a visa! It's PR!

Thanks,

Thank You - My questions is, First we will get visa right? PR is only after 2 years I guess?

There's no going to Canada and then waiting 2 years for PR.

First you apply for PR for you and your wife. When you get the PR visa (could take a year), you can go to Canada right away as a PR or you can delay it a bit, but not too long.
