Guys,

I am thinking to do landing by road on uber after getting my immigrant visa through BC  border area., and want to came back to Canada to finish my affairs here in Canada before my final move, please suggest, what is the smooth process?

Just remember, when you endorse the visa in your passport, you officially become a PR of the USA.  You will be responsible for filing US income tax from that day forward and any world income becomes fair game for the IRS.  I recommend consulting with a cross border accountant prior to endorsing your visa to ensure you have your proverbial financial ducks in a row and aren't setting yourself up for heartbreak, especially if you have TFSA, RESP's, real estate, etc.  You will also be responsible for filing Canadian exit taxes.  Additionally, depending on your province, you may encounter some issues with retaining provincial social benefits if you are a US PR.  

 

Your visa is good for 6 months from the issuance date or your medical, whichever came first.  I'd recommend finishing up your affairs in Canada and planning the move rather than endorsing, becoming a PR and then trying to manage on the back end.  Ultimately though, it's your decision.

One or more of the required vaccines are not appropriate/applicable.  Don't worry about it, it's not anything to stress over.  I had the same.

Thanks for clarification! 

Besides the things you have mentioned above regarding short landing, otherwise is that legal and appropriate to do that in US perspective , I saw many people do that.
