I did the Flag Pole yesterday, Sunday.

It was a quick, hassle free, safe and the officer was so friendly.

He took my passport and COPR then asked me to take a seat and he called me again to verify my mailing address then he said take a seat again.

He called me after 2minutes and he gave a Canadian Flag saying Congratulations you are a Permanent resident of Canada.

The journey is over.. at least for the time being!!
did my landing today at Niagara Falls. Walked the bridge to US, and walked back the same way to Canada. The weather today was not as bad as yesterday's ice storm. The entire process took 30-40 mins. Pleasant experience on both sides of the border, and a remarkable day in my life :)
Thank you all on this forum. This forum really helps! I will stick around here for a long time, and will be happy to share my experience. This is the best Christmas gift ever in my life. Happy Holidays! :)

Exactly the same only the difference my package was received on Dec 24th. Can I ask How did you get a confirmation from CIC that they received your passports on Dec 27th?

I emailed CIC to confirm that they received my passports and they replied with the date they were received.
