Hi everyone,
 
Here is how i got my passport back without making a trip to Montreal.
 
I had already seen my status changed to issued online. I emailed montreal embassy and they sent me the generic email.
 
I contacted a messenger company in Montreal (the one i used was called messageries speedo though i am pretty sure there are other courier companies as well).
 
I emailed them the pickup email as well as a signed authorization letter (not notarized though) to pick up my passport on my behalf from the embassy.
 
Their messenger went out on tuesday and the embassy gave them my passport. they sent it to me same day through UPS and i received it today in Halifax in the afternoon.
 
This whole process was less than 2 days and cost me a total of 55 dollars.
 
Hope this helps some of you

I just put in my passport number and my case number. 
 
I left a blank space for the name field of the person picking up and put in the name of the courier company so the letter was something along the lines of
 
" my name is ______, my passport number is ______ and my case number is ______
 
I authorize _________ (that is the field i left blank so the courier company could fill out the name of the person picking up if needed) from messageries speedo to pick up my passport on my behalf if my visa has been issued. If you need any confirmation or clarification please contact me at ______(phone number)"
