Hello, I got my passport stamped and now i'm almost ready for Canada, but WHAT'S MY NEXT STEP ?

I'm a FSW not pnp, post ITA, i chose Winnipeg as destination and now in the copr paper i have Destination: Winniped; but now i have decided that i want to go to Edmonton instead. My question is:
1. Do i need to land in Winnipeg, then continue to Edmonton or i can go directly there.
2. Someone told me that i have to land in Montreal first in order to speak to an immigration officer, then i should go where i want, is that true ? won't i find an immigration officer in any Airport I go to ?
3. What should I do after I land and get out of the Airport ? how do i communicate with IRCC for my address etc....
4. is it possible for me to put my inland sibling address in torronto so i don't have to worry about changing my address every time i move for the first 2 months ?

Please help,
thank you

I don’t think it matters as you have the COPR.
1. You can land wherever you want if the officer asks you about it just let them know you will go to Winnipeg by road.
2. You should definitely ask this to your immigration agent.
3. You should create a pr protal account there you can update. But when you land in Canada the officer will help you with that.
4. Just give the address of your sibling for the PR card.
Try searching YouTube videos or in the forums about the landing experience.

It will not be a problem. Just let them know about your change in address when you land.
Thank you, because someone advised me not to tell the agent about my destination on the copr (winnipeg) as he might ask me to go there. while others told me that as a FSW, I can land wherever I want and that the destination mentionned is just a choice.

As FSW, you can land on the moon if Canada has claimed territory in it. :D Jokes aside, you can land wherever you want since you're FSW. Just make sure to let the CBSA officer know. All the best! :)
