Share your beautiful landing experience ... :P :) :D ;D

I remember my landing on Feb 18..

My passport got dispatched on Feb 14 and it was the long weekend...that was one long weekend that just would not end ;D...I was on vacation from office but got in on Feb 18 to collect the package from the office. I gave my office address as I wanted to make my experience letter more strong with the VO which definitely helped....

Got the package in the morning at 10:00 AM...rented a car in the afternoon...left in the evening at around 6 for my journey...I decided to land at Peace Bridge Fort Erie because you could still do the U-turn to Canada without going to US (stopped two days after)...reached there at around 7:30..got some Tim Hortons...dropped my sister and gf off at the Tim Hortons

blood pumping hard, I set towards the border.... I almost missed the U-turn because there was a lot of snow and could not see the lines for the turn and the turn is right after the sign....took the turn and then I had to go to the middle of the road for an open slot....went to the terminal...first BO said purpose of entry to Canada..I said land as permanent resident....he took my passport and license...scanned them and said to park the car in one of the parking lots and go inside the office...

Parked the car, went inside the office...there were probably 8-10 BO's chit chatting....one of the ladies called me and asked the purpose of travel..again informed her that I am landing as PR....then she said where is your family which kind of caught me by surprise...I said I am the only one landing...she said has the PA already landed because PA needs to land first and I said I am the PA....then she asked where I worked, if I had POF or pay stubs (I had both- I took them because I was under FSWP), any criminal record, any dependants, address, sign, reading the rights and I am done....honestly telling it was a nice experience, got in the car, updated FB , paid $3.25 toll and back I am in Canada as PR....was almost gonna go in a ditch on the way back out of excitement....went to Niagara and ate at Boston Pizza..finally after 4.5 years of studying and working the day had come...dream realized....

We all can understand and feel your excitement.
Kudos to the journey and Victory buddy

Cheers

Well, I landed in Vancouver airport so my story is short compared to the flagpoling people

I got off the first flight, went through the customs, strangely the officer didn't process my landing, didn't do anything others than a brief look at my papers, then told me to get my luggage and "go to Immigration". Turned out "Immigration" is a lobby right next to the luggage conveyors. I got in there, a nice gentleman (from "CANN" I believe) gave me a couple brochures with a little introduction, and took a number for me. I waited for my number to be called, border officer asked me a few simple questions, took some notes on my CoPR before signing it. I spent less than 30 min in there with a couple of families processed before me, then went on the transfer flight.

there are many ways of going to USA but this is the only one I did for my landing...and in my case I didn't even go to the US side....there was an option of U-turn available...
