A work permit is usually temporary, no paperwork required, and yes, you need a job offer - but I don't think that's what you're talking about applying for.

OK, so going back to the start on that, you need to check your wife is eligible first, make sure she scores at least 67 as a Federal Skilled Worker, using this points system - Selection factors: federal skilled workers

Then once you've done that, take this test to see what her CRS score would be and let us know what it says - Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) tool: skilled immigrants (Express Entry)

A PR app will definitely be more involved, and perhaps you might want to hire a lawyer to help, but given that it's you that has dyslexia etc, and that it's your wife's application, she might feel she's happy to do it? Particularly now you've found BE and we can help! But start with the above and we can try and help you work out the next steps.

HTH get you started at least, good luck.
