You will need your CoPR, your passport (of course) and your good accompanying and goods to follow lists for customs. My wife landed in April. All you do is land as normal at the first CBSA agent you come to, tell them that you want to land to declare permanent residence and they will tell you where to go.

I wouldn't call it an 'interview' as such (although perhaps it varies according to nationality?), it was a couple of questions with a CBSA agent who handled to CoPR activation (took about 5 minutes), then on to another CBSA agent who dealt with the 'good' lists (took about 15 minutes). It is all a bit of a non-event really!
