So upon landing in Iceland (KEF) from Canada, what would the border agent there see on their screen when I hand over my passport to them?

  1. Do they see where I came from and on which flight?
  2. Do they see where I am headed and on what flight? Does this change if I book a separate ticket for domestic travel within schengen zone (different PNR than the one I arrived into Iceland from Canada) vs continuing in the same PNR from Canada- Iceland- Any other schengen state?
  3. Any other details?

If it helps I am travelling on a schengen short stay tourist visa with ME on my Indian passport and permanent residency of Canada.
