Yes, definitely a relief! Now I'm just waiting for the PR card and also trying to get my car inspected and registered here. Canadian Tire is having trouble getting the daytime running lights module installed. Today is going to be attempt number 2 for them.
Sma2husa, my landing was pretty smooth and uneventful. I landed at the Landsdowne, ON / Alexandria Bay, NY crossing. My partner and I drove down separately, so I could go to Watertown, NY and drop my car off for the mandatory 72 hours in the US thing (for exporting). On the way back to Canada, we told them I was landing, so they had us pull over and park and go into the customs office. They took my COPR and passport and had us take a seat. We waited for about 30 minutes for them to process it and then they called me up to answer the questions on the COPR and sign it (questions were just something about if you've committed any crimes and if you have had changes to your family and/or dependents). Then they asked how much money I had access to in my bank accounts (not sure why, never heard of this one). They seemed satisfied with that and had me sit for another 15 minutes or so while they processed some more. Then they called me up, handed me my passport with the COPR stapled in and directed me toward the customs guy to do my B4 forms. The only thing on my B4 was my car to follow later, so that went quickly. He was very impressed that I filled out the B4 beforehand and said most people show up completely unprepared. And, that was that. I never got the lovely "Welcome to Canada" line or the little Canadian flag that others get, but it was still a good experience. I think I had to wait a bit more than usual because there was a guy in front of me having some admissibility issues trying to come into Canada. I think they were wrapping up his paperwork in the beginning.
