    Biometric confusion

    "Processing the application" takes a while and biometrics is one of many steps. For PR applications, biometrics was always required for the many many years. The June 14th message is about you needing to do biometrics again "even if you gave them in the last 10 years."

    How to respond to "Have you ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country or territory?"

    The answer is clear "Yes". You were rejected for not meeting the criteria. If you are uncertain, it's always better to say Yes and provide explanation. You'll be in a worse spot for not disclosing information that the office already have access to.

    Day visit to Canada from the USA

    Day trips are common at some border crossings (near Niagara falls for example.) I'm not sure about the one at Sault Ste. Marie, but it may be uncommon there to raise some suspicion, or the office could have been very bored. More often than not secondary inspections are random.
