Yep, vancouver airport will be ur POE and u should get ur I-94!! Im sure others that have gone through there will chime in!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Yes, Vancouver will be your POE.. My POE was in Edmonton, and if its anything like it... you'll go through customs and show them your approval package and the person will take you to a holding room and someone will enter your information into the US data base then call you up and show you the i94 is stapled into your passport and say blah blah blah you must get married in 90 days, congrats and goodluck.. the whole thing for us took about 30 minutes because there was a guy ahead of us trying to bring in exotic fruits and medicine so we just sat there and watched his stuff get rifled through by the immigration people.
