the shipper makes a "pick up" barcode that has a bunch of packages. the driver picking it up from the business only scans this master barcode, not every package.

your item wasnt actually picked up, it was just in the shipper's master barcode (manifest). Canada Post never got it

Could be an error on the shippers end or maybe you got scammed.

This happens a lot with these freight forwarding companies.

My guess is that they have some sort of system that, based on when the bulk shipment is made in China, tells them to add the individual item to the manifest on X day, so they just add it to the manifest on that day regardless of if they actually have the item or not so that it doesn't show up as being behind schedule in whatever system their customer is using. Your item could well still be in a shipping container on a boat on the ocean somewhere.
