This is normal. My case was similar to you and I noticed this today after reading your postanix said:
I did my landing on 1st March without any issue. If you order your GCMS notes you will find all your history there. So don't worry and enjoy your landing.

Can't thank enough to this forum and the kind people sharing and helping each other.
My application was received on May 2.
Landing experience - We had valid US Visa and I94. Crossed the US border via Rainbow Bridge by car, bridge was slightly busy, took around 20 mins on the bridge, spent 10-15 mins inside US. Came back to the rainbow bridge, was asked to pay $3.5 at the US side (they accepted canadian dollars), no rush at the bridge while coming back. Officer at Canadian side took passports and asked basic questions like how many people are landing, do you live in Canada currently, are you bringing any stuff now or later. Gave us yellow slip, asked to take a left, park and enter the main building.
As we entered the building, an officer came to us, we told we want to do landing, he took the yellow slip and our passports and asked us to wait. There were quite a few people (~10) waiting.
We waited for almost 50-55 mins and another officer called for our names. She asked for our landing papers (CoPR) and proof of current address and asked few questions like how many people are landing in our group, were you ever refused entry to Canada or any country, were you ever kicked out of Canada, were you ever convicted or prisoned, then asked to initial couple of places, sign at one place and told us to wait again. After 5-10 mins, called primary applicant to sign for the kids and told to wait. Another 5-10 mins, and "Congratulations, you are now permanent residents of Canada". Yay!
Informed us that we can go to US and come back to Canada via road using the paper she stapled in our passports. But cannot return by air till we receive our PR cards else need to get travel visa.
Time to enjoy the spring
