Received COPR, confused about next steps

[someguyonearth]

I received a PR visa foil in my passport, a letter of approval and 2 COPR copies. Now I have to land. There are two options:

1. Schedule an interview: I called CIC and was directed to send an email with
-FULL NAME
-DOB
-UCI NO.
-APPLICATION NO.
-HOUSE ADDRESS
-COPR EXPIRY DATE
-TEMPORARY STATUS EXPIRY DATE.

The problem is that I don't exactly know how to get the last two. Where is the COPR expiry date? In the Personal Details section of the COPR, I see a field "Expiry Date" which is the day my passport expires. In the Application Details and Medical Details sections, I see a date under "Valid to". The confusion is that this is the same date on the PR visa attached to my passport and I'm not sure if this date would be the COPR EXPIRY DATE and TEMPORARY STATUS EXPIRY DATE. Is the TEMPORARY STATUS EXPIRY DATE when my work permit expires?

2. Reenter: I've heard people go to Niagara Falls to the US to "flagpole" where their entry to US will be denied/withdrawn so they can go back to the Canadian border to do their landing. What's the implication of this later when visiting the US and will it change things if I spend a day or two in the US and then come back? How do I explain the 2-day "holiday" to the US border officials?


Thanks in advance!

Flagpoling is mostly for people who do not have a visa or are not authorized to enter the USA. they are given an administrative refusal which has no impact on future entry to the US.

If you can legally enter the USA, there is nothing wrong with going there for a couple of days and landing when you return. How do you explain? You tell the truth...
