This has been answered several times before. Yes, you can flagpole without a valid US visa. It doesn't matter.
1. You do not need a US visa to flagpole!
2. And yes of course, you have to go to the US side of the border, otherwise how do you leave the country!?! -- It is essentially needed to 'land' and formalize your landing process. You have to bring back a white paper called "flagpole note" issued by the US Border officer and show that to the Canadian officer on your re-entry to the Canadian side.
So if that's the case, what address proof would an outlander even have? I have an address to use since I know people in Canada, but I'm not going to show up with a hydro bill, I'm immigrating to Canada, I don't already live there. Doesn't make sense...
Btw, if you DO live in Canada, here's what they say on the CIC website... nowhere listed is anything about showing proof of address...
"In either case, you will have to show the officer:
your passport, travel or identity document (including your visa sticker, if you have one), and
your Confirmation of Permanent Residence, permanent resident visa, Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ), letter of introduction or any instructions from the Canadian visa office, and
your proof of legal status in Canada, such as a valid work permit, study permit, temporary resident permit, or visitor document, or any immigration document you have (whether valid or not), or
proof of implied status (if you applied to extend your stay before it ended). Proof of this status may include:

they need proof of address to send you the PR card to. If you don't, you can give a temporary address and update it later. Like I said I have never done this but this is what I have read from other people's experience.
It is going to be almost 2 weeks and my application is not approved yet. Call center said the visa and copr is printed (this was earlier this week), and will be sent. No movement yet. Any idea what's going on? Seems bizarre to me.
