The woman, identified as Haleena Mustafa, was taken into custody on Tuesday and charged with leaving Canada to participate in the activities of a terrorist group and participation in the activities of a terrorist group.
The RCMP official said that investigators believe Mustafa travelled to Turkey with her husband Ikar Mao 10 months ago and that the charges she is facing are related to that trip.
Mao was previously arrested in December and is charged with the same two offences faced by his wife. He remains in police custody.
