Landed!
I landed yesterday evening!! 
All went well at immigration. You get to queue up and listen to people getting an absolute grilling and then getting hauled off into rooms and the presumably put back on a plane (I'm guessing these were people entering illegally, not landing!!
). Then it was my turn and I just handed over the form and passport and she asked whether I had any police convictions etc, how much money I had on me and then took my photograph. That was about it. I didn't have to show proof of funds but I have an AEO job offer so that might be why.
After all that fuss I made about what to put for customs, they didn't even look at my list! They just asked what might be following, as I've lived in Canada already, and when I said my mum was bringing some clothes, they just marked it no goods to follow.
If anyone has questions about landing, feel free to ask. When I go get my SIN and PR card I'll post the procedures on here too.
