No, those must be some REALLY old posts. Right now Canada Post does the passports. You need to sign up on here: https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ca/niv to get into the interview and get the passport with visa back.

As of 2016, Canada post handles everything. Make sure you bring a few forms of ID with you when you pick up your passport at the post office. :)
