Has anyone entered the US through Toronto, CA when activating the EB2 Visa?

Hello everyone, I was wondering if there is anyone in here who has activated their EB2 (to wait for the greencard to be issued) through the US immigration in Pearson Airport (in TO, Canada).

I wanted to check if the process was smooth, etc

 

Thank you!

I'm not 100% sure I understand what you're asking.  If you have your passport with the visa in it and you activate it, once stamped, it serves as your temporary greencard until the physical greencard is printed and arrives at your address.  

 

Most preinspection airports are pretty smooth.  The officers take you aside, pull your records, verify the information, stamp your visa and send you on your way.

Hi, thanks for the reply

What I mean is that depending on your port of entry, sometimes they are not fully trained on the process to retain you eb2 package (a lot of docs) and sometimes it can also delay the arrival of your greencard.

You have an immigrant visa.

All major ports are well trained. THe only time I have seen any issues is at small ports at land crossings.
