My spouse is coming soon to land in Canada. I will be coming to receive her from the province I live in. We plan on staying in Toronto for a day or two before we head back to our province. She will have her connecting flight itinerary with her. I have already done my landing.
Will this halt for a day or two, to see Toronto, create any sort of problems for her ? I have my driving license from the province, + my health card and everything. I believe she should have no problems, but I don't want her to have a bad experience while landing. I would love to hear from you guys about this scenario.

BSOs may also choose to exercise the following options if they are not satisfied with respect to an individual's intention to reside in the nominating province/territory:
Offer the individual the option of voluntarily withdrawing their application for permanent residence. If this option is accepted by the applicant, the BSO should seize the Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CPR) document and inform the issuing visa office and the appropriate CIC inland office in the province/territory of nomination.
If the applicant does not exercise the option to voluntarily withdraw their application for permanent residence, the BSO may adjourn the examination and, pursuant to section 23 of the IRPA, authorize the person to enter Canada for the purpose of further examination. As authorized under Item 102 of the CBSA Delegations and Designations [PDF format], the examination should be referred for finalization to the appropriate CIC inland office in the nominating province/territory. The BSO should seize the applicant's CPR document and forward it to the appropriate CIC inland office along with relevant case information (e.g., Statutory Declaration from the individual stating that they do not intend to reside in the province/territory of nomination, officer's interview notes). The CPR documents of accompanying family members should also be seized and forwarded to the appropriate CIC inland office.
In my case I am the PA who is already residing in the province which nominated me. I hope an Immigration officer does not suspect my wife of not going directly to the province. Clearly, I just want her to show Toronto for a day or two. Which means we have clear intention of staying in the province that nominated us, also if the PA has already landed then the dependent should not have a problem, is that right ?
