No, you still have to land after you get CoPR, even if you live in Canada already! Don't think that just because they're here already it's all finished.
For the record, I drove down from Toronto to my nearest crossing (queenston/lewiston) today to "land".
At first I did the u-turn before the US customs building, only to be told I need to go back to the US side first and get my "flagpoling letter".
So I did, went through the US line, got pulled aside, and they gave me a letter which said I intended to process immigration forms in Canada.
I then went to the Canada line, presented my letter from the US side, they sent me into the building, I was there for 20 minutes, filled out one last form, signed a couple of bits on my CoPR form and bada bing, bada BOOM I was all landed!
I am now officially a Permanent Resident!!!

Hi all...congrats to everyone who got COPR...wonderful news and great that Ottawa is working away.

I have a question ?

What is flagpoling ? is there something that a US citizen has to do before coming to Canada at the border with respect to becoming a PR of Canada....my husband intends to fly...Thanks for any help with this question. ;D

no, it's not something a us citisen "has to do". flag poling is how someonealready in canada can "land" as a PR in canada when they get approved. Anyone can do it, not just US citizens. it prevents them from having to go back to their home country to reenter canada. they can simply drive to the us, get turned around, and enter canada to land.
