Finally Landed ;)
I received my passports on Friday and went to rainbow bridge Niagara on Sunday morning around 10 am. by walk.

At USA side
On right hand side of the bridge there is a clear sign : 'Pedestrian way to USA' - we just followed that.
Enjoy the Falls view :)
Get into USA border security office.
Wait for Door to open when Immigration officer finishes with previous person in line.
They asked us only one question - 1. Why you are here - Ans: Flag pole for Immigration to Canada.
It hardly took 10 mins to get us Flag pole - refusal form ( They gave single form with all family members name on it).
Return back to Canada Side from same door (USA folks would guide you any ways)

At Canada side

We entered into the door of Boarder Security office - First check point ( You will by default - there is no other way to escape that)
Officer asked us purpose and passports with COPR. After checking handed over the yellow form and asked us to cross the road and go to CBSA office.
Get into the office and wait for your turn. Here we were the first in line so it was pretty fast.. took around 30 mins.
Approx PR card time suggested is one to two months.

I would like to Thank you everyone for providing timely help and information.This forum is fantastic..!!
Hope to see you guys on Citizenship forum link few years down the line whenever we are eligible.. :)
All the best and good luck to all who are waiting..!!

Hey man which border you landed and which time? I am planning to land at carway and just wanted to know if i can take rental car as i am also planning to go to waterton lake....Apart from that as we are not really entering US , do we need to tell rental company about US.....or if US authorities ask for any such paper from rental company or even if they ask anything about car at all?
I crossed the border at Thousand Island (Lansdowne). I went there around 8 pm. No traffic on US side. Told the custom that we were here to land and we needed a refusal letter. He directed you in the building. Took around 30 mins to finish the paper work.
Went back to Canada side. There was a huge line up to cross the border. Wait about 25 mins then went inside. The officer did not even look at the letter from the US and asked why we went there (and he laughed, not funny at all). Took them an hour to finish the paperwork since there was a problem with my mailing address. Took another half hour to finish the good to follow list. Then left the building around 11 pm.

Hope it helps

Cheers

I don't know the timeline for July 2014 applicants.
Since you are July 2014 Applicant, you should be getting it soon.

In other threads I saw some Aug 2014 applicants got their MR.
but you can always go ahead and do the medicals upfront.

I just checked my ECAS and third line has been added "we started processing your application...". I have not paid for RRPF fee.
It has been more than two and half months since my medical was received. Hopefully the rest of the process is faster.
