Landed: November 06, 2014 (at Sarnia, Blue Water Bridge)
The whole process took less than 8 months for me. Today, I went to Blue Water Bridge, Sarnia to do my landing formalities. I cross the US boarder (I have US visa) and then return back to Canada immediately. I spend around 20 minutes while going to the US, mostly waiting inside the car to cross the border. I rented a car, hence at the Canadian side I was asked about car ownership. However, they did not asked me any documents. Also, they asked me standard question like do I have goods... bla bla ... then guided me to the immigration centre.
At the immigration centre, I showed them my passport, CPR, driving license, bank statements/records (they asked about settlement fund), study permit. The whole process took not more than 30 minutes. Then I was asked to sign CPR after some correction and congratulated.
Few note:
1. In my GCMS notes issued on Sept. 19, 2014, I was awarded 5 points for my PhD study by Sydney, which is not removed my CPC-O.
2. Also, I am not awarded points for my RA by both Sydney and CPC-O, though I claim these work experience. (In total I received 75 points)
3. CPC did not asked my any documents but I proactively submitted bank statements in June and then updated my new study permit and TRV
