Apply for WP, attach copy of your WP and employer letter, copy of marriage certificate/common-declaration. She will probably get her WP with same expiry date as your WP.

R u using online application? For paper form from outside of Canada

There should be a list like:
"Open Work Permit"
Seasonal....
live-in care giver
other
international...
internaitonal...

Though your spouse is in Canada but on visitor status, she has to use "apply from outside of Canada"
