We have landed yesterday, I thought I would share our experience.
We already live in Canada, and visited family back in Europe. We planned to do our landing at the Ottawa Office, because the time between connection flights were really tight. We arrived to Montreal and were going to Ottawa after. We decided not to mention our approved PR application, just being sure we can catch the next flight
The border officer was a really nice young man. He asked what we were doing in Canada, and pointed out, that our visas will expire in December. He asked about our future plans. That was the point, when I said we got COPR already. He was really happy (said "awesome!") , but I told him that we would like to do the landing interview later at the office in Ottawa. He said, he needs to double-check if we can do that, because usually everybody has to do landing at first entry. After a phone call he said, we are good but also asked when our next flight was leaving. We had about 70 minutes. He made an other call and said, there is only one client at immigration and he can help us to do the interview really quickly.
He closed his booth and asked us to follow him to the immigration room. He joined to his colleagues and called us after 1 minute. He asked the mandatory questions, we signed the COPRs and he gave them to a colleague who had access to the computer, and typed every detail into the system. He asked about proof of funds, and I told him we applied under CEC and we are exempt of POF. The guy said "If you are saying..."
We were done in 5 minutes, and we could catch our flight easily. Everybody was super nice!
These two guys were so nice, we knew we were back in Canada! I wish the same experience to everyone!
