Passport references

[Nagma]

For new Canadian Passport, the application asks for two references. Does the two references have to be Canadian Citizens, or can they be PR?

 

[Mounat]

No, they don't. I have used Americans and Europeans as references over the years.

Hello!
Can you please let me know what information from the references they need?
So far I gathered:

- Full Name
- Full Address
- Contact number
- Relation to me and how long we've known each other

Did I miss anything? And can that be in a regular piece of paper, or there's a specific form to be completed?

Thank you in advance!

There's nothing much to gather...
Just fill the relevant section in the passport application, there is nothing else to it.
