Hi
So I went to complete "landing" at the border. I went pretty late (12:30am) friday, so there was no one there at all.
I was in and out (out canada-usa-back in canada) like 30mins. I was walking PS
On the US side I just told them I was flagpolling. I wasn't asked any questions, just waited till I was given the piece of paper that the border officers needed
Canadian Officer was nice and tired, asked the general questions (have you been arrested, has any thing changed since DM). Made small talk about immigration (and the "joys" of the process) and then had to sit and wait while he did his thing. Very nice guy, even apologized that he was slow coz he was tired and almost off his shift.
After that he congratulated me, asked me to signed the CoPR and told me the PR card would be sent to my address.
Important point --- I asked about travelling and return before I got the PR card. He said you can get the travel document when you are outside, but there's no posted processing time, and essentially said it's gonna be easier/ less stressful to wait for the PR card than trying to deal with getting the travel document. I cannot use my multiple entry visa to return into Canada anymore as my status on that document is no longer valid
I've decided to just land and wait for the PR card. The trip can happen anything but I need PR status more to deal with work stuff.
Hope this helps people about the PRcard and travel document question
For those of you still waiting.... you're almost there just be strong a little longer
