Can I inland sponsor my spouse while she is in Canada on an ETA?

The OWP fee is $255 (be careful when paying because it's two separate fees, $155 + $100, and most people mess up by only paying $155).

As for the driver's license, yeah that can be a pain. I'm from the EU and I forgot to look into and get an international license so I had to do it all over again and now I have a learner's, heavily restricted, license after having a full one (my country doesn't even have different stages) for eight years. Which just makes me feel super silly. Getting an international one definitely helps.

Oh, great thanks, I misspoke when I thought it was 4 or 5 hundred (just thought I read it but wasn't sure), even better then, it's not really much extra cost and might even cheaper then, IF, we had to do 3 renewals.
Yes, the driver's license thing is a strange one- sorry, it didn't work out for you. Even though my wife doesn't drive here in Korea, she probably could and might want to drive in Canada, you know, when we make those long trips across the prairies, or whatever, it's so good to have an extra driver to spell you off from time to time and much of driving in Canada is easier compared with Korea as well.

Yep, it's definitely worth it for the peace of mind plus, like you said, you mind end up paying more with extensions anyway.

And yeah, it's a bit of a pain, but luckily I don't really need to drive that much anyway so it's okay in the end. I could have forgotten or not known about much more important documents when I was moving, so in the grand scheme of things, this is really a minor one.
