Why can't you folks just answer the OP's question? While I don't disagree that a Brit might have a faster time outland, they have told you that they have chosen inland. They have their own reasons for choosing that. It's not wrong.
@OP: You posted a blurb from a lawyer or consultant. The lawyer we consulted with before we started stated the same thing. So it really isn't fair to ask for us to contradict the statement.
That said, get an eTA, and come as a visitor. Tell the truth if you are asked at the border. That's really all you need to do.
On her last trip to Canada, my wife told CBSA that she was "here to be with her husband". Obviously I don't recommend attracting the attention, but they really only recorded some information from her (like where and when we married, etc) and they admitted her for 6 months. No visitor record, no hassle, no bag search, and they didn't even check her dog's travel documents -- despite the dog being in plain sight. They counselled her on the process, and away she went. She is being sponsored inland and has been here since that date (and in status).
