Passport Stamping and COPR for Outland Sponsorship within Canada

Hello,

I applied for Sponsoring my wife through Outland Sponsorship back in July. Unfortunately because of a couple of missing signatures her application got returned in September. We have signed and sent back the application in October. She recently received her passport request (Just yesterday).

Not knowing the application would be processed rather quickly, we applied for a Visitors Visa and she got approved. So She booked her flight to Toronto and is scheduled to fly on Dec 21st. We called CIC and asked if she could fly down and get her passport stamped here in Canada. (I live in Ottawa), they said since its an Outland Sponsorship, it might not be allowed and said although we are unsure??

The Passport request letter mentioned that if the applicant is in Canada she can send in her passport to Ottawa VO. Can she fly down as a Visitor and send her passport to Ottawa VO?

Alsom if she could. Can she show the immigration office the Passport request letter and get processed at the Port of Entry (Toronto) when she flies down on a Visitor's Visa.
