There should be an email address on your AOR. I believe that's what you use.

Hi Laura,

We're in Calgary. Just rec'd our COPR on Monday. My husband is already here with me and we're planning that he will land at the end of the month. Good luck to you. My husband is Australian.

Hubby landed May 31 @ Calgary International Airport. Took 10 minutes tops, the CBSA officer was great. Shook my husband's hand, congratulated him and welcomed him to Canada. :D
And............we're done.

Congratulations to you too!! Seriously, it was easy as pie. I think processing a landing is the nice part of a CBSA agents job so they are happy to do it. Best of luck on your new life here in Canada. :D
