A member wasn't sure whether their passport, sent for visa stamping, was being routed to a different IRCC office, or would be sent directly back to them so they could proceed with their move to Canada.
What the thread clarified:- Your passport is couriered directly back to you once processed — it's not simply held at another office awaiting further action from you.
- You can track the shipment using the courier's tracking ID (Bluedart was named specifically) on the courier's own tracking page, to follow its progress in real time.
- You can also log into your CIC portal to check counterfoil (visa stamp) details, which gives you additional confirmation alongside the physical courier tracking.
The practical takeaway: once your passport is sent for stamping, it's couriered directly back to you — track its progress using the courier's tracking ID (e.g. via Bluedart), and check your CIC portal for counterfoil details as an additional confirmation source.
