I entered using the Pacific Highway Land Port of Entry. It was fairly uneventful and I was traveling down to activate my visa with my motorcycle. I came up to the CBP booth and advised them that I was in possession of an immigrant visa, and they had asked "have you used this visa before" and I said "no". He processed me for secondary inspection, and advised me that I will be required to formally import my vehicles once I'm moved in otherwise they will be likely to deny entry to my vehicles in the future if they still had their BC Plates. After acknowledging this, I proceeded to secondary, provided my passport and address to the officer who came out of the building. I waited about 10-20 minutes and he came out and handed my passport back to me, saying that I was "stamped in" and that your green card should show up within 6 months and congratulations and I was sent on my way.
Probably the easiest crossing I've done, and no harassment. I'll be returning to Canada for the rest of my things on the weekend, so we'll see how subsequent entries go.
I'm not a Nexus card holder, but I do have a pending application which isn't being processed due to the pandemic closing enrollment centers.
