So, this morning, I called up DHL and asked if my shipment was ready for pick up. The lady confirmed it was! So, this evening once my dad was home, I borrowed his car and headed out to Dorval, the DHL location I chose which is closest to me. Took about 30 minutes to get there and then another 30 back, but it was definitely worth it! At DHL, the lady asked for ID as it was for a passport pick up and she had to verify. She then asked me to open the DHL package to confirm with the passport as well. I carefully cut the package as I didn't want to accidentally tear at the sealed envelope within. She looked at my passport and then told me everything was okay and that I could take the package. I happily skipped off to the car :)
Here's some pictures if you're interested (as always, click to enlarge):
Here's me holding the very bright yellow DHL package.
The contents of the package.
Finally have the visa!
The very important, sealed envelope. Who ever opens this package must be extremely blind.
This is what it looks like on DHL when you input the reference ID that is found on the CSC site.
This is what it looks like on DHL when you get your waybill number or when you click on 'view status' when you put in the reference ID number.

P.S. Only 5 more days and 10 hours till I leave Canada and head for the border!
