Right- the “rule” is don’t go just to validate. Our trip is not to validate. We are going to visit regardless. That might be the difference. I am holding a valid COPR, and we will be starting our move preparations as well... we shall see how they view it.

Really it will likely depend on the officer we get. Will let you know...

Hi all- I landed! Via land at Regway crossing (Montana/Saskatchewan). No problem at all at the border. They cheerily processed my COPR. I am now a permanent resident of Canada!
Currently in quarantine. On the way, RCMP stopped me about 200km inside Saskatchewan. He was upset to see us. He clearly didn’t know the rules, asked why we didn’t quarantine near Regway. Um, there’s nothing there ! Anyhow, he couldn’t do much, he tried to call the border but they didn’t answer, he took my name & cellphone #. And let us go on our way. I’ll limit how much I drive my California plated truck and 34foot RV! Anyhow, at 11pm that night, the RCMP sent an officer to check on us. Fortunately I was awake on a conference call with Asia. He was more polite, just checking “on the American who is supposed to quarantine “. Never mind that I’m traveling with my 100% Canadian wife & our twin Canadian daughters... the police were obsessed with the “American “....

Anyhow, No issues- I’m a PR now! ;)
