Understanding COPR and Landing process

[NMBCMD]

Received COPR today in the mail!! Mailed PPR stuff January 24th through FedEx.

I was in Canada for over a year as temporary resident but returned to the states to wait out the rest of the process. When I go to cross the border and declare goods and all that will I be considered a "settler" or a "former resident?" I'm a bit confused. I am not really gonna have too may things to declare anyway. Mostly just my clothes and stuff. Will that look fishy? I brought my other stuff when I came to Canada back in 2016 to start this whole process and even then it was just a few things (record player with a few recordsand clothes).

And also when I had originally came into Canada I had a car with me that I had intended to drive back a few weeks later but it was kinda on its last leg so I just left it up there (haven't driven it at all cuz it wasn't legal for me to do so) and am gonna give it to a junkyard when I get back up there. Will I be asked how I came into Canada in the first place and If I tell the agents that will that get me into trouble?

You will be considered a settler.

Not sure about the car... anything you import is technically not supposed to be discarded or sold for 12 months, so you definitely wouldn't want to try to import it. I think the "technically correct" thing to do would be tow it back to the US and give it to a junkyard there. The border officers will not ask you how you got to Canada on previous trips or anything like that. Of course you could just bring it to a junkyard in Canada although I don't think it's technically legal, nobody will really know

Thanks KBH for always answering, you're a lifesaver!!

Okay cool thats kinda what I was thinking, just wanted to make sure. Do i need to fill out the "goods" that I already brought into Canada with me the first time?

It says on my COPR that my last entry to Canada was 09/02/2016, whitch is my original entry date but technically I left Canada back in the summer for a couple weeks and came back. Will that be an issue at the border?

Errors can be amended by CBSA when you land. They should ask "is all the information on the COPR correct?"
