The fastest way is to go to the border and do a flag polling (it took me 20 min at Rainbow bridge Niagara falls ) and to get an appointment it take about 2 months

I actually have not yet landed. However, the package they send back to you should contain:
- 2 copy of confirmation of PR (one has a photo on it, one hasn't)
- instructions
- passport
- the other photo that you sent them earlier when u submit your passport

based on the instruction is, just bring what they send you to meet the immigration officer either by appointment locally or go to border/international airport to complete your landing.

They did not specify anything else that you need to bring in.
For sure, I don't think you need more photos.
However, I've seen ppl were asked for proof of bank statement, employment record/letter or T4.
Make sure you also bring your PGWP, they will take it away when you sign your confirmation at the immigration office and that should be it. They will then send you your permanent resident card by mail in a few weeks ;D
congratulation

Good luck

I'm from Calgary,AB. The tracking # when I checked it the next day in the morning it said "is in the delivery system at your local facility at 8am"
Then, it changed it to "delivered successfully at 10:30am"
It was delivered to your regular mail box
Hope to hear back from your good news soon!

Hi Shauwn,
I've received a letter by mail today from Harry Hays telling me when is my examination interview time. I think this might help you to answer the question.
It said on the letter "If you are subject to and have not yet paid the RPR fee of $490. You must do so on the day of your interview"
so I think if they have not cash it is prob normal, as long as you pay the fee before the final interview with officer
btw, they have scheduled me on Oct 4@ 1:13pm for that interview. LOL
not sure yet if I'm even able to make it on that Thursday, need to ask boss tmrw

you are so right
I've received a letter from Calgary immigration office today, they have already set up an appointment time for me on Oct 4, is about 2 months from now.
But I'm not sure if I'm able to go on that day due to work.
LOL
might now consider driving 3 hrs to the border and come back
