I had to go to Canada about a week and a half ago and came back on the same day with AP (crossed by car). I gave my passport as well as my AP card when we got to the border and the woman just scanned my passport and waived us through. I thought that with AP, I had to go in and do some paperwork... Is it an issue that they didn't do anything at the border?

Thanks

Should not be an issue. they say the AP card and knew what it was and processed you through. Another agent might not know and you would have to deal with the paperwork. You should be good to go.

Yes it was my first time crossing. She did not ask me anything. Looked at my AP card and my scanned my passport and smiled. I have a B2 visa and thought maybe it would be an issue..

I wouldn't be concerned, just know if you cross again you could be pulled into secondary to further process things.
