I got an email to send copies of my passport pages:
"scanned copies or photos of ALL passport(s) and travel document(s) pages" for my eligibility period.

Do I email it back or do I physically mail it? Also is this normal?
The email do say to email it back to the same address?

Yes it's normal when they want to cross verify your travel.

Thanks @forw.jane

There was a PDF document attached with instructions to mail it to the Calgary office.
(Somewhat surprised since I applied from Vancouver and my test invite came from the West office)

Anyways, I mailed everything. This was the first real communication I've got since September.

Recently came to know that West Citizenship EApp is not necessarily only the Vancouver Office and it could be any of the local office in western Canada (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and British Columbia).

Received online oath email today. Have questions can I apply for passport with soft copy of citizenship certificate or do I have to wait for hard copy? Please advise if anyone know about this. Thank you.

You either get a soft copy or a hard copy. So your question is a bit confusing.
You can apply for passport with both.
