Can I help my wife filing her tax online (via NETFILE) if she just obtains her SIN (residence in Canada) last year? I heard that first year must be done in PAPER?

You can use the software to prepare your wife's tax return, but yes because it is her first year filing, you will have to print and mail your tax return to the CRA, as the CRA has no information on file for her yet.
