Passport Request? - Looking for Clarification

Hi everyone!

I'm happy to say, after months and months of uncertainty, I was approved as a sponsor on March 8, 2019. My husband received his medical request the same day and he had his medical on March 26, 2019. On Friday (April 18th) we received an email informing us that the processing of our application is almost complete and that we need to update our application (if necessary) and also determine whether or not we need to send in his passport. From the letter it seems as though he would not need to send in his passport, as he is American and does not need a visa or eTA to travel to Canada. Yet, it says further down in the document that we need to complete and submit "Annex A" which will apparently be attached to his passport. So, are we required to send in his passport or not? The letter is unclear. Is this an official passport request or does that come later?

Thank you in advance!

Only copies for visa exempt applicants.

You have provided limited information to get a proper response. Assuming that there was no specific request to send in his passport along with Annex A, he needs to send in only a photocopy of the passport.

Thank you! Will they request his passport at a later date?

I provided the information the letter we received provided us. As I said, the letter was unclear.
