A guarantor is simply confirming your identity that you who you say you are and your photo is actually you. It is a common feature in many countries to reduce fraudulent applications. Just being a citizen entitles you to apply for a passport but you still need to prove who you say you are when applying. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/passport/apply/guarantor-reference.asp
