I truly did not even know what flagpoling meant until everything was greatly described to me which I appreciated. Soft landing is the term when someone outside Canada comes to do COPR only and not actually settle. Where as flagpoling is when a car from Canada turns around at the flagpoles without crossing into the states and entering at a border that way and because of never leaving Canada to go back to the states, that is why the rules are different and why they expect the list of belongings right then since the person is in Canada already. So yes, "flagpoling", or if you intend to not actually leave Canada to enter at a border and do COPR, that is only Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday no matter which border, it's the same everywhere just different border crossing location. And from what I gather its first come first serve in the morning.
