If you are doing your landing for PR, don't mention it is a soft landing. They won't be asking for how long you intend to stay, you are going to be a PR, they are assuming you are here to stay forever.

The answer is the same for any question from CBSA: the truth.

CBSA believe or not are not stupid and they will be familiar with people who are possibly doing a soft landing, maybe only have a single suitcase for example. There is nothing against doing a soft landing but for sure everyone should answer any question honestly so if asked answer every question honestly. Only need to answer questions asked no need to volunteer anything.
