Canadian Citizen had previous passport

[igotsunshine]

I am in US and would like Canadian friend to visit. I have a passport and have met him in Toronto and BC. He is having hard time with passport application because he has been a shut in for a couple decades. I know sounds crazy. Anyway, how does he find two unrelated people to say he is who he is. HE A NATURAL BORN CANADIAN CITIZEN FOR HEAVENS SAKES! In any case, he had a passport a couple decades ago. Doesn't that count for anything?

DOes he ever go to a doctor or dentist? They can sign a form vouching for him.

Well - he doesn't qualify for the simplified passport application process since his passport has been expired for more than one year. So no - the decades old passport doesn't really count for anything unfortunately. He really needs to find two individuals who will vouch for who he is (if he wants a passport).

Does his father have friends who know your friend? Maybe they can sign? Does he have a god mother or god father who's not related to him? What about a neighbour?

Why -- suddenly -- does your friend want to venture out into the open, the cruel sunshine, tedious border crossings etc et to travel?

To see me of course silly! Haha. I do enjoy traveling up there but, it would be nice if he could take the drive or plane down here!
