No no, it wasn't even approved at that stage so no sticker was in it. from what I've read, it's common the passport and some originals are sent back shortly after the application is accepted for processing. After the residency visa was approved I had to bring my passport into the office, drop it off, and then I chose to pick it up once it was ready which was about a week later.
Even though it showed approved online on 29 Jan, my residency status started as of 03 Feb- the date they issued the visa/put the sticker in my passport.
