Well, since she is filipino, I guess she is a nurse...
I think you should land in the same city(region) that you applied to.. If not I think the immigration officer in the airport will kick you out of the country... Do not listen to others, even seniors...Why? because no one in here can read the officer's mind...He is free to do whatever he thinks. This is the point of applying to specific city...If it doesn't matter, why do u think they asked you in the first place?
My advise, land in NS, settle there for a bit then move to Ontario
