how can I find a CIC office near my place - tp become a permanent resident?

I got the CoPR letter and now I have to go to a office from CIC or to a border?

I live in BC, Canada, Kelowna?

thanks!

If I go to a border how do I know they do that immigration stuff -- by border does it?

The CBSA at the border will do it but you must be refused entry by the USA CBP and then come back to "land". Look up "flagpole". To make a local office appointment, call the IRCC Call Center.

I would be curious to know why the OP must be refused entry into the USA in order to land. For a 'flagpole' situation, yes, an administrative refusal is what you would need, but if you don't need to have a visa to enter into the USA then I don't see any reason why the applicant couldn't make a day trip out of it and then return to Canada to land. Since the only requirement to land be that you enter Canada from another country, whether it be by land/sea/air far as I know. *shrugs*

You don't. The only requirement is that you exit Canada somehow and return or book a landing appointment. One person here posted a landing story where the person didn't have to sign anything at the U.S. side of the border and the officer said that there wasn't a refusal because there was never a request to enter the U.S. The officer merely redirected them to the Canadian side after scanning the person's passport. And as you said, you can always go into town to shop or something first and then return.

The administrative refusal is the minimum requirement for a simple flagpole. How else does one actually "leave" Canada and prove it? Anything that actually involves crossing another country's border goes beyond flagpoling.
