When entering Canada on PR card what is the most advisable option. By air, or my road. My friend suggest that it is always better to land by road than air so that there are less issues with IO. Is this correct. Please advise

No questions asked even when one lands by air.

Air - Entering Canada - Passport was stamped by CBSA
Road - Leaving US - No stamping on the passport by US CBP
Road - Enteing Canada - Passport was stamped by CBSA

What questions are asked by IO while entering Canada on PR card by air/road. This is the first time I will be entering Canada on PR card.

If you have a PR card but not residing in Canada the most important question is 'Why are you not staying in Canada when you are a PR of Canada?'. Be straight forward and explain. I have always told that I am looking for a job in Canada and will move when I get a job eventually. Another question is 'What is the purpose of your visit to Canada?' At the end they always remind you that to extend your PR after 5 years you need to meet the criteria of 2 years out of 5 years ...
If you have a PR card and residing in Canada the questions is 'How long have you been away from Canada and why?' ...

What about those who cannot get there by road?
I do not think there should be any difference in both of them

When they ask me why am I visiting Canada, can I say I am just visiting Canada with my spouse at this moment.
Would they ask me if I am renting/owning a place in Canada? Is it okay if I say I do not own / rent a apt and I will be living in my friend's apt?
Please advise.

Nope. They look at the financial status of the person you would be residing with
