hi thanks for answering but currently she is in canada and living with me. she came as visitor. so should i write canada then?
Since you are both legally married and she has a legal resident visitor status in Canada. You may sponsor her under the Spouse or Common-law partner in Canada class......i.e., inland sponsorship application.

You could apply under the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class if your spouse or common-law partner:
  • lives with you in Canada
  • has valid immigration status in Canada, (i.e.,...your wife must be a legal status e.g., visitor, student visa in Canada as of the date you apply)
  • would like to apply for, and qualifies for, an Open Work Permit so that they can work while the application is being processed
