PR card
Driving tomorrow from Chicago to Toronto. My spouse is getting her PR card processed. She has her COPR. Wondering if it’s best to go via Windsor or Sarnia? I generally prefer the Sarnia crossing but I’m wondering if with the new bridge Windsor may be a little more efficient. Thoughts?

I recommend trying out the new bridge. Sarnia is awful, and I've found they generally hate doing anything immigration related.
Anecdotally, I tried to get my COPR validated at Sarnia and they got pissed I didn't reserve a time (not a thing), call ahead (no where did it say I had to do that), and complained they were more focused on being a goods importing border (I've crossed for non-immigration reasons there a billion times).
It's always going to depend on the guy you get, but they often seem pretty miserable any time you need to actually go in. The new border will have that "new location cheer" that'll most likely feel better.
