Passport Vs. Copy of Passport??

[HopeSprings]

I received a passport request email from CIC on Oct 1st and have 30 days to send my final documents to Detroit. I've got everything ready to go but am unsure of 1 thing. I've tried to contact CIC via phone for clarification but as usual it's almost impossible to speak to a human

According to the CIC site "If you are a citizen from a country that is exempted to obtain a visa to visit Canada under Regulation 190 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, you are only required to send a copy of your passport". I'm an Irish citizen and Ireland is listed as being visa excempt

However in my GCMS notes i saw that under Counterfoil Required: it said Yes.
Which i would assume is that they need to place something in my actual passport

Anyone had anything similar? Do i need to send my passport or would a copy of every page suffice?

I'm from a visa exempt country. I got my PPR. I photocopied my entire passport book (to play safe) and sent it. I did not send them my original passport.

I am from Hong Kong which is visa exempted. I submitted the photocopies of my passport.
