I reported 2 1/2 years ago that if you put in a date, it will let you continue - that was on the advice of a telephone agent - but I'm still not comfortable with that approach in that it's not 100% truthful if one does not have a date of return planned. Undoubtedly she will return to visit Canada in a few months but at a date unknown.
It's perfectly fine to put anything on the online check-in form, as long as you're 100% truthful when speaking to actual immigration agents. Airlines have zero authority in enforcing immigration law, so it makes no difference what it has in their system. You can even use a different nationality if it helps you check-in online, no one cares. They'll rescan your passport anyway at the gate, correcting whatever information you've entered during online check-in.
