You don't need to have US Visa for doing this landing. Please just to Rainbow bridge and go to US Border and just tell them that you came there for "Flag Pole". They will verify your passports and give you a slip. That you have to submit on the Canada Border Immigration Officers who will take all your documents and guide you for the next steps. For more, please go through the below link.jfalvitez said:

Yes, you have to technically "enter" Canada. Without leaving, you can't enter Canada.jfalvitez said:
you can head to US border, tell the US border officer you are flagpoling, then they will direct you to the Canada side and complete the process there. You don't need US visa to do that. (I did that myself even I do have and presented my US visitor visa)
Or if you live far away from the border, you can make appointment with CIC (you will get instructions in CoPR letter)
CoPR is usually valid for 6 months or until medical expires (although for some reason mine has 9 months to it with an extension of medical. Didn't really matter, went to the border next day)
I found this and guess is a list of offices for landing?jfalvitez said:

I'm planning to schedule an appointment in office too, going to border is so complicated to me since I don't drive.

Check with CIC helpline. Saw some threads indicating country of origin entered different. Better get it sorted at the earliest than later.
Thank you for your prompt reply. I mainly got confused because the email asked me to submit my passport in Pakistan and I am neither a resident nor a citizen of Pakistan. This kind of error is very rare.
can you also tell me if this mean my application is approved or there is still any chance of rejection? I have another doubt, how many days typically it takes for the embassy to return the passport after stamping? I have travel plans in 4.5 weeks (can't be postponed, its my sister's wedding) and I am afraid of not getting my passport back in time. I am planning to submit a letter to expedite the process along with my documents to VFS. Not sure it will help.

Hi All,
We submitted our passports one week backt o VFS centre, Dubai. VFS tracking number keeps on showing that it is under processing at Abu Dhabi Visa office. We have one confusion:
My husband who was dependent applicant (as I am primary applicant) has changed his job recently so his old visa which is on passport has been cancelled although it does not bear any cancellation stamp.. We are confused if we should inform the Abu Dhabi Visa Processing office of Canada about his job change or not.
The main problem is we are in a hurry to get our passports back as my husband has his new visa from the new company but it is temporary and needs to be processed within one month which can not be done without passports. We fear, If we will provide this new information it may further delay the processing. We submitted our passports one week back and the VFS tracking number keeps on showing that it is under processing at Abu Dhabi Visa office.
Any advice?
Normal turn around time for Visa stamping is 10 days. But, this depends on the work load at the VO concerned.
Regarding the question of new job and the passport, I would recommend checking with @legalfalcon . He is experienced on this more than me.
