Did she declare you on her PR application? If she lands without doing this, she can never sponsor you. This is a very strict rule. She must add you now as a spouse before she lands, and you can choose if you want to be added as accompanying or non-accompanying.

The PGWP is not extendable. I would suggest getting added as an accompanying spouse.

Divorce of Convenience. Sponsorship would be refused.
