Here is a quick summary of my trip to the Border with the USA at Niagara Falls.

I drove down from Toronto on a busy 2.5 hour drive from the Downtown Core.
I arrived in Niagara, and ate at the Fallsview Casino - a $25 buffet that is $21 if you've got a Player's Card (you can get thi if you take the $20 tour bus from Safeway tours to come to Niagara Falls)

USA:
I went to the border, drove across to the USA. It took them all of 5 minutes to give me the document refusing entry. The Guards were Amazing.
They smiled, and even told me my Jeep had a little oil flap loose under the chassis.

Canada:
I drive back to Canada, and the officer at the Entry Gates asks my American friend and I a couple of simple questions, then gives me a yellow slip, asking me to go over to the waiting area. We waited, and after a while she came and asked why I hadnt submitted the slip to the counter.

Within 5 minutes of all this, and a couple of questions later I was confirmed as a Permanent Resident. I'll be honest, this was smooth and a lot of fun. All parties involved were jovial, helpful and welcomed me back.

Moving Forward:
I've made Canada my home for my 9th year now, and this is one of the many reasons why.
cheers to all

Congratulations buddy!! :)

What does it say on your MYCIC account?

I just noticed it says Application status - Closed
Final decision - Approved

I never got any email about it.
 
You will most likely receive an e-mail saying your application was updated tomorrow. That happened to me and other people as well, where we noticed the change in MyCIC before receiving the e-mail.

Congratulations on getting approved!! Now to wait for your tracker to be activated!

You probably won't be able to do so because your agent would have already linked the file to his a/c.
But you can try ECAS and put in your UCI and date of birth ,it will show you last updated status.
FYI - ECAS is slow on updating your PR file info.

Mine still says Medical received but on front page it says decision made.
