There has been at least one person lately (late spring/early summer). I know they had it sent to a DHL location in Montréal for pickup. Passports have been coming quickly lately but I’d be prepared financially to stay a few extra days just in case it takes a bit.

There is a thread in the Canada regional forum on how long it’s been taking to get passports back.

Good luck. :)

Along these same lines, I have a similar question. I too will be going to Montreal in the future. If I choose not to stay, are Visas delivered somehow by courier or mail?

Yes you have to sign up for DHL/Loomis after the package has reached Montreal and they will courier it for free to anywhere in Canada. I received mine the next day in Alberta. My flight back was after the interview because I didn't want to pay another day for a hotel room (after being there for almost a week.)

NLR stayed for a week because she was in AB and had to fly somewhere for her medical so she did it in one go all in Montréal. Medical, wait around for the medical results, Interview, then fly home.

I had something pressing at home the week of the interview so I flew to Toronto for my medical flew home to AB, had the results couriered to me at home, then flew to Montréal for the interview.
