You can go to any border crossing with immigration services. Most of the large crossings will be able to process your PR landing, but you should check and make sure you go one that's big enough. You don't need an appointment, but you do need to go there at times they provide immigration services:

You do not need a US visa. You just drive down to the border, and tell the US agent that you want to turn around and re-enter Canada instead of entering the USA. They'll direct you back to the Canadian side, and once there you tell them you are here to land as a PR and show them your paperwork.
