Hello mallucharan, may I ask what is your wife's status there? Since you're a PR.

Thanks for the response. My wife as well hold PR along with me.

Since both of you are PR's, your wife can go to the University without applying for Study Permit, those are only for people who will stay in Canada temporarily, so she is considered domestic student, you can check this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/about-pr.asp

What permanent residents can do
As a permanent resident, you have the right to:

get most social benefits that Canadian citizens receive, including health care coverage,
live, work or study anywhere in Canada,
apply for Canadian citizenship,
protection under Canadian law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
You must pay taxes and respect all Canadian laws at the federal, provincial and municipal levels.
