You're expected / required to get on a computer, get on a govt website, upload your proof of vaccination, your date to cross the border, etc. then get a printout of a QR code and bring that with you when you cross. Again, under penalty of $$$$ fines and possible quarantine order.
There have been stories of Canadians entering Canada without complying and not getting fined, but a lot depends on the particular border agent you get. Some won't push the matter. Some will get very aggressive. Some, in airports, will take your passport and hand it directly to a public health officer to all but force you to comply, a process which I've heard referred to as an "illegal referral" by some Twitter people but I've not seen a specific law cited to support that.
Also there are plenty of stories of Canadians getting their fines canceled by the courts, often without even having to go to court. Some provinces have no legal authority to enforce or collect the fines on behalf of federal public health so in those provinces it seems like it may be an easy out.
