Your wife cannot get Canadian Citizenship (per the title of this thread) based on the fact she's married to a Canadian PR. Here's the link to finding out how you sponsor her to join you in Canada .

hi thanks for such a prompt response
how long the process will take? as she have US green card. and will it be through the regular spouse visa application?
Yes - regular spouse sponsorship application. It should take 4-8 months for the PR application to be process. Once she is a PR and has live in Canada for several years, she will qualify to apply for citizenship.
thankyou so much for the information.
and can a person travel directly to canada from pakistan on US green card?

She will need to apply for an "eTA" which is an electronic travel authorization. Her Green card makes her eligible for this. It's a 10 minute online application, costs $7, and is approved online usually within minutes.
Once she has an eTA she can fly to Canada with her Green card.
Link to the eTA website:

Note that she needs both her Green Card and the eTA to fly to Canada.
