I am in Brockville but I don't think they will ask you the question ad to why you have come there instead of Toronto border. Do they ? Or even if they do, you can tell them that you were vising Ottawa and hence thought of doing it here.
My experience- I went on a bad weather Sunday thinking there will be no rush at the border but surprisingly there was. Went to US side, told them that we're flagpolling. He took our pp's and aked us to come to the office. There were several people in there so it took us about an hour to get the piece of paper. The US officer was nice and they seemed to know what they were doing. Got the paper--> went back to Canada side. It was fairly quick there. (FYI- I have personally crossed this border several times on my US business' trips & Canada side is always less crowded). We did our landing, came back home and was able fo link our pr card applications succesfully.
Hope this helps !! Let me know if you have any other questions.
