Did my landing the next day in Coutts, Alberta. The process was fairly simple and I would recommend it to anyone living in Calgary as it is only a 3.5 hour drive. I had set 'Sweetgrass, Montana' as the final destination on google maps and it took me right to the US border office.The officer took my passport and I had to go into US office 'lobby' and get back the passport and the administrative refusal paper. The officer then directed the way back to Canadian Border Services Agency office - it's just a simple U turn. The Canadian officer at the booth outside was very nice and took the US paper and passport and told me to come in after parking in the parking lot. I was first in line inside and gave the officer at the Traffic desk my COPR document. First he asked if I had any dependants, had done any crimes etc and then I signed and date the COPR. He then asked me to take a seat and took about 15 minutes to process everything. My first and last date of entry were wrong on the COPR but he said it does not matter as the right dates are all on the CIC system. He then attached the signed COPR to my passport and gave me some information on my rights and responsibilities etc. Overall a very smooth process!
Now the wait for PR card begins...
