Do you mean the request letter? I was going to suggest you print a new one out, but I looked at your past messages and saw you received it by post. I'd try calling CIC and explaining, and maybe trying to get your online account connected to help speed up the correspondence.

Hello everyone,
I have a question about my application to sponsor my sister in the Family Class: Other relatives. The application is going well, I have added the timeline below.
Zimbabwe, where my sister is, currently has a passport crisis - no paper, ink and machinery to print passports. The government hasn't issued passports in a few months. My sister has a passport but her two dependent children who are accompanying her do not have passports. They have applied for her children's passports but we do not know when they will get them. CIC Pretoria reached out and requested for medicals in May and we asked for an extension of time to wait for passports but up to now there is no word on passports. You cannot get your medicals done without a picture ID and for the kids who are 3 and 2 years old that means they need their passports. We received another email this week asking for the medicals within 60 days, CIC says if they don't receive this information within the 60 days, our application will be refused.
I have checked to see if we can send a webform to list the children as non-accompanying dependents but even in that case, non-accompanying dependents have to have their medicals done in order for the applicant to be issued with PR.
My question is: Can our PR application be refused based on a circumstance that is beyond our control? What can we do in this case?
The passport crisis in Zimbabwe is something that we do not have control over. It has been covered by press and in international media outlets. I dowloaded these news sources and sent them to CIC Pretoria in our initial request for extension to get medicals email.
Let me know if there is a forum that I can post this question if I am in the wrong place. I just thought to post here since our application was received in March 2019.

Honestly I don't know, I think you should probably try getting in touch with the VAC where you are going to do your biometrics and ask them. They'll be able to give you a more informed answer!
As far as I know they just need your UCI and Application number and passport only. U can tell them that you don’t have letter with u at this moment, no need to go in details of what happened to letter
There should be a set of instructions that tells you what you need to do. If the PA is from a visa exempt country, you will only need a photocopy of the passport. Otherwise, yes, you will need to physically send your passport. I think that where you send it to will depend on where you live -- my husband is in the UK and even though we were processed at Mississauga, they told him to send it to the London VO if he wasn't in Canada.

Was your application transferred to VO ?
Also, your PA is from which country ?
This is ghost update and it normally means that your file is approved. Do check your ECAS tomorrow morning

No my file hasn’t been transferred yet
My pa is from Afghanistan
And we have done bio and medical so far
Ohh, that's called a ghost update, it usually means they were doing something to your application. People often find they get an actual update not long after that happens. Keep an eye out, maybe they're getting ready to transfer your application to a VO. I'm crossing my fingers for you!
