I had submitted Biometric information 3 years ago for another application so I received the Biometric validity letter after submission of the study permit application.

When your passport was returned to you, did it have a stamp/sticker on it for the study permit?

By the way, what is the purpose of submitting the passport after receiving the approval for study permit? If one comes from an visa-exempt country (using eTA for general visit instead), will IRCC request to submit the passport also?
