it means exactly that..send your passport to the CHC. Most probably it means that you've got the visa otherwise they wouldn't ask you for your passport.

And about your second questions..the time varies....my wife's passport came back in 3 days...people have reported even 2 weeks..so it really varies..

All the best

AnilGurung, I'm curious to find out why you had to send yours to Ottawa. Did you apply for TRV from inside Canada?
