Passport request has to be sent only to the V.O. processing my case?

Hi

I am applying outland (Chile), I did again my medical check here in Canada (I have a visitor record until Dec) and send the RCMP police certificate to the V.O., I would like to know when they finally request my passport, the only V.O.allows to stamp the visa is in Chile?, or there is any chance to send my passport to a office in Canada or another embassy. (I had to send few documents, and the delivery time is very random and not cheap from Toronto to Santiago).
And also, what do I have to expect?, my passport with the visa and the CoPR?. I am just asking, so I could send now my passport to my family, and then they could send by courier to the V.O. and earn some time. Thanks a lot.

You must send your passport to the visa office processing your application. So for you that would be Chile.

If you wanted to send it to another office (like CPC-Ottawa) then you would have to request first that your entire application gets transferred to there, which would probably not be allowed.

Thanks and they ll give me the passport with the visa and CoPR?

I don't know how safe it is to send your passport to a different country, and be in Canada without one.
