Are they going to send it by email or with the passport? Anyway I'll ask the agent who applied for me.
I believe tomorrow you will receive msg.
i really do not have any idea but they should be sending it via e-mail, correct me if i am wrong but you cannot enter canada without this letter of introduction/port of entry letter, you have to show this letter upon entering canada and only after that they will hand over to us our work permit, i cannot find in this thread that they got this letter after receiving the notification from VFS

please refer to this link regarding the port of entry letter,

When passport is being sent to the costumer or back for collection from VFS, what is the message they send and when do they usually send that (like a day before or same day)

they will probably sent a SMS and e-mail notification once your passport is already at the VFS, you did not choose to deliver the passport at your house?

no , chose collection, VFS employee said that along with my urgent cover letter and proof which i sent scans of like study permit and uni letter, its better to put passport collection at the VFS.So i just followed the suggestions hopefully she was right.
