The date on my visa stamping was 23rd March (the same day the visa was approved for my online application, and then they asked for the passport).
I used Canadapost Xpresspost.
I sent them the travel related documents (everything...why you are traveling...for eg for a conference, wedding or anything urgent like that, along with the tickets and itinerary) after I sent them the passport by email, fax, and Xpresspost mail (apparently thats what they prefer...I wrote URGENT:NEED PASSPORT BACK IMMEDIATELY) on top of the envelope so that at least they open the envelope.
