Just want to post my experience.
Had an international flight CDG-YYZ and went through immigration already. I then had to get back to land side for personal reasons. I asked one of the security people, and was shown the way to go downstairs to arrival, went through arrival immigration/customs, and got out. 30 minutes later I came back through security check and departure immigration procedure.
No one asked why I needed to go back, not the security, not immigration.
This probably happens quite often in airports all over the world. People cancel their travel plans at the last minute, left something at the hotel, etc.
