you can't make appointment with local immigration (as far as I know), just go to any border either to enter / flagpole.
Regarding the documents, our senior i_am_toby has provide an excellent site that provide all documents needed to land as a PR.

Here it is : http://cectoolkit.weebly.com/faqs/what-documents-do-i-need-for-the-landing

Fly out of Canada. Fly back in and land. That's the proper way :P

You'll still get interviewed at the airport, though. At least they won't turn you back or give you trouble for not making an appointment with your local CIC office.

By choosing which cic office, I believe what he meant was (correct me if I'm wrong), you can choose to land anywhere e.g : if ur entering toronto airport/vancouver airport/ vancouver border from seattle/etc.

And yes, the officer will still ask you couple of questions regarding your PR / current status.
But you'll definitely be fine as long you prepared all the documents on the link above.

Good luck!

Yes, you get to choose what port of entry (POE) to use. That is, an airport or a land crossing.

If you're unable to go to a POE, you will also have the option of landing by appointment at a CIC office. They will make an appointment for you at a time of their choosing at the nearest CIC office to where you live. You may have to wait several weeks for an appointment. Which is why almost everyone chooses to just go to a POE.

There's no "risk free" option.
 
I went to a POE. The questions they ask are not too invasive tbh, I was just asked how long I'd been in Canada, whether I liked it and if the COPR was correct. Most of the work at that point is done by CIC and CBSA are just checking superficial stuff (unless you're super sketchy).

There were no question on funds or anything like that.

There was no CIC office within my city (even though it's a provincial capital) so I had no choice.
 
some people reply but no body didn't advise should we go to border or go to cic local office

the question was if the person don't have excellent english ability and nervous to talk with immigration officer

You'll have to talk to an immigration officer no matter where you land, be it at the border, in an airport (technical also a border), or local CIC office.

You're looking for the "risk free" option where you can avoid talking to an immigration officer. Sorry but there is no such option.

In any case, the immigration officer will probably ask you a couple of simple questions, like "where do you currently live" and "have you committed any crimes". It's not like a job interview - just be honest in your answers.

You haven't even submitted your PR application yet, so you have plenty of time to prepare. Certainly if your IELTS or CELPIP results were good enough to apply for CEC, then your English is more than good enough and you will be fine!
 
^ I should add - it's not clear to me whether you're applying for SINP or CEC. Some of the advice you get in this section may not apply to provincial programs, but I imagine the landing process is the same.

The English requirement for SINP is slightly easier (CLB 4 instead of 5) but you should still have no problem communicating with the immigration representative.
