I went through immigration and they wrote three letters on my form...CXL maybe. As I entered customs, they selected me for a "random" audit which took a good 10-15 mins.
bolding mine

Heaven forbid it took you an extra 10-15 minutes! Every time I go to Canada on business I get sent to the secondary line. The line alone takes at least an hour to get through, then 10-15 minutes of interrogation.
