My application for PR is in process and I recently received passport request from CHC-London Office. My son (included in my application for PR) is already studying in Canada (currently on a student visa). I am an Indian Citizen working and residing at Kuwait.
CHC London office asked me in their letter to send all passports together, so I obtained my son?s passport from Canada through FedEx courier service, bundled it together with all our passports and sent to London office.
After 2 days, I received a phone call from FedEx ?Kuwait asking me to return passports to them as there are some clearance formalities not carried out at Canada.
I informed them that the passport is no longer with me and it is sent to London for PR visa stamping. They said they will send this message to Fedex-Canada and revert back to me if required.
It was clearly told to FedEx (by my son) there in Canada, about the content of the package (passport). Moreover, prior to this, I wrote to FedEx and inquired if they can ship passport to Kuwait and they confirmed that they could ship passport from Canada to Kuwait (between other countries, depends on rules and regulations, they may or may not) and also stated their charges for that service. I have saved their email in this regard.
Now for first landing, I was planning to carry my son?s passport along with me to Canada, show it to the immigration officer at the port and explain him/ her the situation, as to why this passport is being carried inside Canada, without accompanied by the passport holder (who in this case is already in Canada). But with this current issue with FedEx, I do not know, if that is advisable. I may be required to return the passport to FedEx, for their clearance processing at Canada, and they may in turn ship it back to my son in Canada, no idea. They did not call me so far from yesterday.
Any advise and suggestions in this regard are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

To be specific (in reply to: Passport clearance by FedEx courier at Canada)
To be specific, I would like to know, if there is any problem if I do not return the passport to FedEx and decide to carry it myself to Canada when I go for first landing next month.
Further is there any problem at the port that I can carry the passport inside without the passport holder accompanying it. Any advise and suggestions in this regard are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
