Has anyone been there recently who can confirm it still is as awesome as Fanycheng describes? My experience on this part has been bitter at best.
I got my COPR, and according the CIC website, the way to do inland landing or validating the PR is to get an appointment via a webform (
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=748&top=22). I emailed them and all and the reply I got was "Please check our Services for the services offered". I then used the same form again and this time pasted the link and a screenshot that this was the only method mentioned, the reply this time was "We have forwarded your query to the office responsible, they will get in touch with you if they require further information".
In light of all of that, the first event mentioned here sounds too good to be true. I am from Ottawa btw
