1. Yes - you must include her in the application. However you can list her as non-accompanying. Note that she will need to take and pass a medical in order for your PR application to be approved. This medical includes an x-ray.
2. If you sponsor her for PR after you have become a PR on your own, the process will take approximately a year. You will need to be living in Canada while this application is processed.
