That’s what I was thinking. IRCC is like “if you can travel, do it”.
I’m hoping that the Customs Officer will have the same opinion.
From what I heard is the land border way more stringent then airports.

Hi Guys, any luck with the landing options? I am an inland applicant with COPR received. Waiting for landing options. Raised webform but got a generic reply that all appointments are cancelled and they are not taking a new one. I have heard some people have got their COPR validated via email without any interview or landing formality? Anyone has any idea about it?
Lol you are funny, no really you are so funny. You think after he lands and tells CBSA he is going to take a flight back to the states they will force him into the 14 quarantine instead? Like use your brain seriously.
I am in Canada and in similar situation as yours. I tried web form, emailing CPC-Ottawa, and even tweet to IRCC, but all get general responses. For the landing email, looks like only a small portion of people have received it and IRCC didn't give any comment on that. So I think the only way is wait for now. Maybe a round trip to US is a possible option for me because I can entering US by claiming I work there but I am not going to take the risk of that since CBSA may question if it's an essential travel entering Canada.
For anyone who was clueless like me, the international flights from Pakistan are suspended till 15th May (except for special flights of course). So it might be safe to book a ticket for any day after 15th May from Pakistan. By the way, PIA is taking full advantage of the situation and selling tickets for double or triple the price.
What if Immigration officer asks for proofs of 14 day quarantine stay? This is COVID19 situation and already CBSA officers are taking risks by coming in close proximity with international travellers and if they caught someone telling a lie and then you can imagine what could happen. I wont sound so funny in that case.
Telling the officer that you're on round trip back and were here for soft landing means non-essential travel (at least for land border it's confirmed) and, hence, could be barred entry.

Mandatory quarantine for travellers entering Canada
When you arrive in Canada by air or land, we assess your health before you leave the port of entry.
If you’re exempt from the travel restrictions, you must have a plan to quarantine for 14 days when you arrive in Canada. This is mandatory, even if you have no symptoms. If you don’t have a plan, you should not travel to Canada.
The penalties for not following your quarantine plan can include
- a fine of up to $750,000
- 6 months of jail time
- being found inadmissible, removed from Canada and banned from entering for 1 year
Honestly I am done answering people. I don't know it if I am talking to kids or just adults who analyze and over analyze every word and sentence and come up with irrational conclusions. Arrest? Seriously?
OP I would travel if I were you, that's all I gotta say.

What's funny is you missed analyzing the very first sentence. It says "before you leave the port of entry". Well he ISN'T Fing LEAVING the stupid port of entry.
Also tweeted them to ask this specific question what if person is not leaving the port of entry and will let you know what's their reply.
