RPRF: March 1, 2017
MR: Dec 18, 2017
Medical done: Jan 4, 2018

BGIP: Feb 27, 2018
PPR: March 6, 2018
Passport Sent: March 9, 2018
Passport Received: March 19, 2018
Landed at Queenston-Lewiston Bridge: April 3, 2018

Landing Experience Update
We select landing through Queenston-Lewiston Bridge on April 3rd, and at about 2 PM, there's no one waiting at this POE. The total processing time is about 10 mins and officer only asks for Passport and CoPR. Apparently, they have my address on file and so the officer just asked me to confirm my address verbally.

Some reminder,
1. Rumor says Southern Ontario borders only accept landing on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
2. Avoid Rainbow Bridge since it's overcrowded everyday.

I learnt a lot through this forum's discussions and I hope everyone has a smooth and successful application and landing experience.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am considering the Lansdowne Thousand Island Bridge. I am assuming I just show up at the POE right? I called them and they said they have 24/7 immigration services. The lady didn't specifically know flag-poling though. I read somewhere that proof of funds may be asked at some POEs? Any other documents/advice?

I dont know too much about flag poling without entering the US. For me, I just visited the US for a few hours and come back using my US visa.
I carried some bank statements with me in case officer wants to see, but he didn't.

Great. I assume just the bank statements should be enough, it doesn't have to be in a proof-of-funds format as required in the eAPR?

I think bank statement should be fine. BTW, I already settled Canada using work permit for almost 2 years, and maybe the officer knew from system that I'm currently working full time and didn't bother to check anything.

Thank you. I landed at Lansdowne 1000 Island Bridge crossing today. I've been here for about 10 months and yes they only verbally asked for funds. Here is my timeline and experience if you're curious.
