The application asks for 2 references and a Guarantor.

Since I would be applying as a single applicant, do I need a guarantor?

And...can a guarantor be a relative (like my wife), since the references can not be a relative?

A family member or any individual residing at your address may be your guarantor provided he or she meets the specified requirements. If you are the parent or legal guardian applying for a passport for your child, you cannot act as guarantor. However, if he or she meets the eligibility criteria above, the other parent can act as the guarantor.

Both your OHIP and your foreign passport (even made in a consulate in Toronto) will be accepted

You're good then...
