I don't believe that they send your documents back. I'm pretty sure that they actually state somewhere not to send originals unless specified as they will not be returned.
 
Many people have had their original documents returned. I suggest contacting CIC.

For Pakistan, they actually mention in the guide to send the original documents.

Oh ya, for sure there are some things that they need to have the originals for. But it doesn't guarentee that they will be returned, my guide specifically said they wouldn't be. That being said, some people here have mentioned that they have recieved their documents back without even requesting them
 
Send a letter or email to the visa office that has the documents, asking for them back. They might not return them, but at least you can ask. I did not get my photos back until I actually requested them.
