If the TRV is refused, you can also request the visa office grant her a TRP ("Temporary Resident Permit") to overcome their finding of inadmissibility. The basis for this is "Early Admission" and is described in OP 20 "Temporary Resident Permits" on the CIC website. Note there is a $200 fee just to apply for a TRP (whether it is granted, or not). Further, it is discretionary, but the manual suggests it is proper to grant in spouse/child cases where "only routine processing steps are required". Thus, there shouldn't be a clean medical already on file, no criminality or other complexities.
For most offices there is no special form for requesting a TRP - you submit the TRV form but include a document stating you are requesting a TRP and explaining the basis for granting the request. I generally also suggest including a copy of a prior refusal as well as copies of the pertinent documents from the application (medical, PCCs p
Computergeek, thank you for the helpful tips. I learn something new everyday ;D
Have you seen and heard of persons using TRP with success as you described? If for example, my wife has a child halfway through the PR process, and TRV is denied, we can attach a TRP form (or indicate that we will apply for TRP), and it could overcome the routine denial reason of "failure to prove intent to return to homeland", or does this just show the reasons which we know already through CAIPS.
A few more questions if you have the time
Will a copy of a denial for TRV to the USA when my parents invited my wife for the Christmas holidays be worthwhile to include as well?
What is the recommended timeframe to wait for TRP after TRV rejection (if any).
Also, what, if you can, what does your statement below suggest?

She has already done her upfront medical and police clearance which we included in our PR application.
BTW our vo is Singapore and we are just looking ahead and viewing our options.
