Passport Guarantor /References

[alpalp]

Hi all,

Can anyone please advice, who can be a Guarantor and who can be references ? I do not have any close relative/family who is already Canadian. So I am confused who can be a Guarantor ?

Can I use public notary as Guarantor..I heard there's a form that needs to be filled out in such cases.

I had a similar question - I moved to another province 8 months ago and didn't know anyone who could be a guarantor for my passport application. I stopped by the passport office and picked up form PPTC 132 (Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor). I checked with notary public and they provide this service. However, according to the form PPTC 132, you have to find 2 more references in addition to 2 references listed in main application form. So if you don't have a guarantor, you need 4 different references in total.

I am facing some problem getting in touch with references. They are either out of town on vacation or they are not citizens and some I don't know them for more than 2 years. What I should do now..if I have to apply for passport. Are there people having similar issues..?

Some of us have been on this forum everyday over the past 2 years. It almost feels like one can ask a regular forum member to be a (web 2.0) reference.

II think it's better to write coworker than friend sometimes due to seniority? friends is more like hanging out..so i clearly indicates how much the person would know..or it doesn't really matter>?

It literally doesn't matter.

Hi All,
Does anyone have an idea if references can sign/date the passport application before my citizenship Oath date?
My Oath Date is coming up mid January however my references for passport application are leaving on holiday this week for a month, besides I have to travel this month as well and can't wait till my references are back

Thanks

Example -If you are having your Oath on 14 Jan leave atleast 2 to 3 days and date the forms for 17 or 18 Jan. You better look for references who will be in Canada. I too have my Oath mid Jan and already started the passport application part so that I could submit it in 2 or 3 days once I see that Ecas status shows Complete.

@KRP Thanks for the advice
You are right, there is a QR Code on the online form (top right)
the paper form which I have doesn't have one.
Good idea to fill this online, actually its much neater than writing.
Cheers

When you use this online application pdf the only area it does not allow to type in is the Guarantor area and date ,signature, place at the bottom.

I need help here please
Im a bit confused as for who can be my guarantor.
On the website is says "Your guarantor can be a family member or anyone living at your address, as long as they meet the guarantor requirements."
That "living in the same address" is a confusing part.
I have a Canadian friend with whom I lived together for like 5years but I moved out to a different address now. So the question is, can he be my guarantor ? He meets all requirements except "living in the same address" part.
Another option is to ask my dentist who i been client for couple years but she doesnt know me that well.

What should I do?
Thank you very much

It says CAN be, not HAS to be. So your friend is fine, your dentist could be fine too..as long as s/he fits the criteria
