I can't speak to that particular office, but IN GENERAL - since applications can be submitted by mail - there is no particular difficulty involved nor obstacle to submitting an application without the applicant present.

If you're applying for urgent or express processing your WIFE must be present while applying in person. Don't know about the kid. But if it's regular application then you can apply on behalf of your wife, however keep an authorization letter (signed by your wife) handy just in case they need it. There is no set form as such but a template can be found easily on Google, or you can just make your own.
I hope this helps.
Quick question: If you submitted 2 applications together(1adult, 1 minor), Do they process them together or one after Another?
The adult's application status is changed from processing to printed and mailed but minor shows still in processing. Does anyone know if they sent the passport together, I believe they do, as both were in printing a couple of days ago.

Hi everyone. Can any experts provide me with some help. I know the guarantor has to be a citizen. But Do the references for my Canadian passport application have to be citizens? Or can it be anyone with PR or other status in Canada ? Thanks in advance
There is no such requirement. The only requirement is that they shouldn't be related to you and should have known you for 2yrs att he very least.

So even if reference came to canada only 1 year ago, should be fine it they know me from 2 years total even before canada?
If mailing it then what is the difference between these two address.. non-courier and courier? Which one to use for what?
Mailing address (non-courier)
Government of Canada
Passport Program
Gatineau, Quebec K1A 0G3
Courier address
Government of Canada
Passport Program
22 De Varennes Street
Gatineau, Quebec J8T 8R1
Courier address involves courier service like UPS, DHL, Fedex that will drop/handover your document in person, while Mailing address works same as the one you have at home. That Go to your mailbox. Simply Drop off on mailbox vis a viz in person delivery...
Unless there's another company that i am not aware of, but Canada Post is a primary postal operator for non-courier
