My experience was a bit unusual. I have provided few details here:
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/quebec-skilled-worker-federal-stage-after-csq.298038/page-930

On USA --> Canada border I was asked on :
a) why I am going to Canada
b) You need to import car and was asked for Title and Registration. I informed CBSA agent that I returning to USA after finishing landing formalities and will import car in next trip.

Inside CBSA office, it was mostly a relaxed discussion. I was asked for documents and some information.

On Canada --> USA border, I was asked following questions:

a) Where are you coming from?
b) Why did you go to Canada
c) What's your status in USA
d) Are you moving to Canada
