Hi Les
Being a fellow Canadian, I applied for an eApis last winter and have used it twice this spring/summer.
I found the biggest problem was filling out the manifest. First time through it took me way over an hour to complete. When the reply did come it never stated yes I could cross the border, or no I couldn't, which lead to some confusion. The return email from DHS is entitled "Notification of receipt of Transmission". In it is a confirmation #. That's it
However there was no request for the 178 form that was used previously by CBP. The most interesting part of this whole scenario was the CBP people where I cleared. They barely looked at our passports, and where more interested in how the elctronic filing went. Having said that, the customs guys certainly recognize me as I've crossed there lots of times before.
Just make sure to give yourself lots of time to sent your manifest before you want to leave. Should not be a problem if your "ducks are in order"
Hope to meet you at Airventure.

Hi Rick
I’ll look forward to meeting you as well. Assuming, of course, that I don’t get arrested from smuggling a case of Koknnee across the border.
Cheers
Les
