You cannot choose a CIC office in which to land. CIC will assign an appointment to you at the closest office to your address.

EDIT: Perhaps you mean the Sault Ste Marie land border? It's not really an office, per se.

It looks like CIC does offer immigration services in Sault Ste Marie from time to time (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contact_us/offices/itinerant.asp), but of course, there is already a border crossing there, and if you're looking for a quick landing and you're at all able to get to a border crossing, why wouldn't you just do that.

LOL, it is not an office, it's the border crossing between the USA and Canada. You can land there if you're returning from the USA.

If you aren't able to enter the USA, I'm not sure whether or not you can "flag-pole" at SSM.

Here's the CBSA info for SSM (remember, tho, CBSA and CIC are different agencies).

Sent you msg.
Hello,

I am also RNIP approved (Sault St. Marie), Outland candidate. Applied PR through the online PR portal on 20 June 22. Can you advise how long it will take to get the AOR, and what's the average processing times, according to your experience.
