let me share my experience at Coutts Border - I arrived at 10:35am it was busy - over all it was a pleasant experience, I drove to the border since I have US visa I informed immigration officer (US side) that I'm here for my landing however I want to do some shopping from duty free they give me 6 months entry in US , they charged me 6US$ at border which is strange, anyways I went spend 15 minutes in US , bought stuff from US duty free came back to do my landing at Canada Border simply 20 minutes of waiting once you give your documents at window- immigration officer told me to park my car and come inside the lobby , but in car queue it was 45 minutes just to reach to the window ,my name was called went upto the counter immigration officer ask me to give him my current work permit , verified my residence address in Canada and ask me to sign the documents (both copies of my CoPR) and then he return one copy of CoPR with my passport to me with congrates that now I am permanent resident of Canada. Handed me a paper which tells you when and how you will get your PR card, information for new comers in Canada .
I wish you all the best. here is my time line'
