CP or its agent would have needed government authority to affix a stamp to a
passport. The company may have been vouching for the immigrant in some way,
possibly that his inland passage was paid; he had a homestead arranged; a
firm job offer; or some other similar provision; which would clear him
through some stages of immigration inspection at the port of entry.
It would be useful to know what the stamp says.

Or from CPR's Colonization & Immigration Department.
I think that's more likely it. I'll run with that and see what I can find.
