Folks please guide

I submitted express entry PR application on Oct 7 with spouse and dependent child in the application and received AOR on the same date. Now my wife's office in India are suggesting to file her work permit for Canada - no relation to express entry.

1. Can my wife go ahead and apply for a work permit via her employer in India? Will it have any impact on PR application where she is NOT the primary applicant?

2. In between getting ITA and submission of PR application, my wife also applied for Canada business visa through her employer. She received her business visa after the submission of PR application. Do I need to update CIC about her business visa?
