Hi folks,

I just wanna know if guarantor needs to sign only at the back of one photo and NOT both?

Also she/he can use either blue or black pen to sign at the back of photo;right?

Yes the guarantor needs to sign one photo only. Black or Blue does not matter.

if photos are made from costco, they put stamp on back of photo "I certify this to be a true likeness of applicant" and space for guarantor sign

only... just a reminder as well, if you will submit a photocopy of your additional
identification like drivers licence or services card instead of sending them
your original, make sure the guarantor signs that photocy as well stating truelikeness etc same with the stamp at the back of the photo...

It is good idea to apply for passport if you are eligible on Feb.15, 2016 which is Family day holiday in Ontario.
Crown corporation offices like Passport Canada works on that day. Many people may not be aware and it would be quick in and out to submit application form.

Please read the instructions provided on the passport application carefully. All your questions are answered there.
The application form reads as follows:

"[The Guarantor must] Write 'I certify this to be a true likeness of (your name)' on the back of one (1) of your photos, and sign it."

"- Provide at least one (1) document to support your identity with the name, sex, date of birth, signature and photo to appear in the passport. More than one document may be used to fulfill the requirements.
- All documents submitted to support your identity must be valid and, must be issued by a federal or, provincial/territorial authority (or local equivalent abroad).
...
- Copies are acceptable provided your guarantor has signed and dated a copy of each document (both sides) confirming that the original document has been seen. If you are submitting original documents, they will be returned to you."

What's unclear about it?
Is your OntarioDriver's Licence issued by a provincial authority and contains you name, sex, DOB, signature and photo? I guess so, so you're good to go.
