I'm not saying it is the case but sometimes Canada Post is not diligent in scanning all parcels, especially if that label is on an irregular surface or printed with a low quality print/setting. Just be sure to file item not received dispute before 45 days have past.

Not all sellers use shipping labels that are tracked online. Personally I use postage stamps and mark sales manually as shipped.
Not all sellers use tracked shipping, which can be extremely expensive. Unless your seller uses a tracked method, you'll just have to trust that it is on its way to you.
Not all "tracking" is actually tracked. Paypal is just fine with "Confirmation of Delivery" which means that the item will be marked Delivered when you get it and not before. (Sometimes there will be a note that the parcel has crossed to border or passed customs, but don't count on it.)
And of course, as a buyer tracking is useless to you. The requirement for tracking is for the protection of the seller in fake claims of non-delivery. If a scamming buyer claims not to have received an item, the seller can show PP that it was in fact delivered to the address the scammer gave.
If you are ordering for Christmas, don't buy online. You may or may not get it before Boxing Day. If you really really need it, be prepared to pay for Express services that offer overnight to three day service. And be prepared to pay for that speedy service.
