There are many situations that can dictate why you did not receive your package from Canada Post. Here are some possible reasons

1. Safety - Often in condo buildings if the drop off area is not safely closed off or open to foot traffic, Canada post will often leave a note to pick up your box from your closest Canada Post mailbox. Usually, because its Canada post you should have a close by post office where you can pick it up. To Canada post the safety of the box is always the primary concern.

2. Weather - If the drop off area is not safe from environmental factors such as weather, rain, snow, water etc then Canada post will often take the box with them. 

3. Need to call the customer / access to the building - If Canada post requires to call the customer to come inside the dropping zone or area, Canada post will not deliver the box

When a delivery is attempted by Canada Post to your home address or community mailbox, they typically make one delivery attempt. If no one is available to receive the package, a notification will be left at your door or mailbox indicating the pickup location. You then have a 15-day window to collect your package from the postal station after the initial delivery attempt. If the package remains unclaimed after this period, Canada Post will return it to us. It's important to emphasize that it's the customer's responsibility to retrieve the package from the postal station within the specified timeframe. Should the package be returned to us due to non-collection, the customer will be charged for both the initial delivery and the return shipping costs incurred by Singals.ca
