Is it possible for the spouse to enter canada before the primary applicant?

Dear experts,

I have few doubts in my mind and wants to be redressed before we could plan our stay in Canada.

We got the PR visa and my wife is the primary applicant. As we have some problems, we can not enter Canada at the same time. So I, as a spouse, can enter Canada before her(primary applicant)? OR it is must that primary applicant has to enter first?

In that case, i will enter first and after the PR card application i will come back. Then within the PR visa time, she will enter Canada. and later, i will join her.

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK Primary Applicant has to land first. spouse can land alongwith PA, but not before.

No, this is not permitted. PA must be at the first landing.

No, it is not possible.
I have the same problem, so we'll land together and I'll go back home in two weeks and return with kids when he finds a job, appartment, etc.
