Hi everyone!
I am planning to submit an EE profile, and was wondering whether the below situation could cause any problems.
While I was a temporary resident (on a study permit) in Canada last year, I was living in a house, renting one room in a 4 bedroom house. There were other tenants in the other rooms. All tenants shared a single, common mail box near the front door of the house.
A few months after I came to this place, I saw a medium-sized mail parcel/packet in the mail box. It was not mine, and I assumed that it had probably come for one of the other housemates (we tenants hardly see or talk to each other), but the receiver's name was not written on the packet. I didn't open the mail packet. But I could see that it had come from Russia, and that it had been delivered by Canada Post.
Since it seemed suspicious, I waited for a few days to see if any of the other housemates would take it. Nobody seemed to take it.
So after a week or so, I called the local city police and reported that there's this suspicious packet in the mail box. I reported this out of concern and due to a duty towards doing the right thing as a bystander. They asked for my name and address and I gave it. They told me to see if someone takes it after a few days. If no one took it, then they asked me to call them after a few days so that they could come and check. It turned out that the packet belonged to one of the housemates who had taken it after a few days.
Now, since they asked for my name and address when I reported it, is this something I should be worried about? I was just reporting the packet out of an abundance of caution and concern.
I'll be very grateful for any help or advice please. Thank you so much.
