Have you paid the application? Normally after a day you will be asked to take your biometrics. Then you need to schedule this to the Canada Visa Application Centre. Once boimetrics is done, processing of application takes place. Based on https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html it takes 14 days. If your visa is approved, that is the only time your passport will be requested.
