Congratulations for being a landed immigrant.
That is the second time i hear of taking the work permit away from the landed immigrants at the time of landing !
In my case everything went exactly as you explained in your landing except taking away my study or Off-campus work permits !
I did ask the immigration officer whether she needs them or not, and actually i handed them to her because i was under the impression that she is gonna take them away to destroy them, but she gave them back to me saying "i do not need all of that, just give me your proof of funds and that is it."
She did the same like your case exactly regarding everything else such as; stamping the passport with the entry and date stamp, putting a line on the visa because it is one entry, asking for the mailing address, letting me review the information written in the COPR and sign my initials in each available space to confirm that the information is true, and there is no mistakes.
She asked me to sign inside the green square on the COPR and she emphasized that i must not touch the borders of the square because it is the signature which gonna appear on my PR card.
She said, apply right away for the permanent SIN card and number, the OHIP card, and do not wait until the PR card arrive to your mailing address. She said as well "if you intend to leave canada make sure that you do not do so before you receive your PR card.
Finally she congratulated me and told me that the PR card is gonna be sent to my mailing address within 6 to 7 weeks, and asked me if i have any questions, and that was it.
