Canada Post 'Item processed' & 'International item has left originating country' Meaning.

Your 16-digit Canada Post PIN or 13-character S10 international parcel has been sorted at a major Canada Post plant (such as Mississauga, Montreal, or Richmond) or dispatched from the origin country toward CBSA customs.

What is happening in the supply chain

'Item processed' is recorded whenever automated sorting equipment at a Canada Post mail processing plant reads the barcode and routes the parcel to the next regional plant or local depot. For inbound international items, 'International item has left originating country' remains the latest scan until the parcel arrives at Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal for CBSA inspection.
