hey guys, got a couple questions, im sponsoring my wife to go to canada, have read a few  bits and bobs about this but am still bit confused.
how much time before she would be able to return to england? say for a holiday, wedding etc.
not to live but to visit. to re-enter canada will she just need her pr card or be needed to interviews etc upon return to canda?
also, when after receiving pr card could we have holiday to the usa? would like to travel down to florida next couple years but am unsure what the rules would be surrounding that?

thanks in advance for any help and reply.

She can return to England as soon as she needs to after landing.  Her PR card will take about 2 months to get to her, so factor that into your calculations.  Re-entry to Canada is on the strength of her PR card and PP, yes, no interview etc needed.

Again, after receiving her PR card she can visit anywhere and return to Canada using the card.

The PR residency requirement is 730 days out of any 5 year period.  The days don't have to be consecutive, and days abroad with you count towards the requirement.

Just on a side note, if your wife needed to go back to the UK urgently and the PR card hadnt yet arrived (mine took about 6-7 weeks) she could always fly back to the US and then cross the land border into Canada. Crossing the land border, only the passport and COPR (confirmation of Permanent Residency) are required. I went on holiday to the US after landing but before the PR card arrived and had no issues whatsoever.
I have also now been back to the UK for a visit. Coming back to Canada was easy. I showed the PR card and also my passport however they dont always ask for your passport i'm told. Instead of asking the purpose of my visit to Canada, they asked the reason for my trip to the UK!!

Anyway, don't worry, once the application and landing is done, there'll be no more stressing!

I wouldn't worry...
If she is visa exempt, she should still carry her landing documents to prove her PR status when she enters but it should not be a problem.  This was advice given to me by Leon...
