Fine, since you all have same question as what i had and still have some ,i think i should share what i have now.
*Yes it is advisable to land only in Alberta, i mailed CIC and AINP got reply. They both contradict, CIC says i can land anywhere other than Quebec, but AINP says to land only in Alberta.
*Doing only landing means, take your passport and landing papers and go to Canada, clear immigration and they cancels the visa in your passport and give proof of landing papers. Some POE takes address of your friend some don't , luck favor the lucky.
*The next step is to complete applying for SIN, health card and bank account with your landing paper and return back outside Canada.
*You cannot do apply for SIN etc.. in a weekend, but POE landing yes of course.
*There is no requirement that you must stay for this many days there, it is upto you.
*When you want to move to Canada for good, you need to apply for a travel document in you local Canadian consulate, without this one cannot go back.
