Pre-Assessed..
My one year old just received his Canadian Citizenship Certificate (was born in Pakistan to a Canadian Citizen).
We are now applying for his first Canadian passport.

We are including this:
pptc-042, 2 photographs both stamped by photographer with date & his address, (one of which has signature of Guarantor also)

The problem:
What I don't understand is why I need to submit the PPTC116 Notice also. Because it only applies to cases of temporary passport, which is not our case because the child already has his canadian citizenship certificate.
We are neither travelling anytime soon, nor are we requesting a limited validity passport. We need a normal passport for the child.
If i submit the pptc116 form anyway, will they issue my son a limited validity passport rather than a normal 5-year one?

1. No where (that I can find in the instructions is there the requirement that you submit PPTC 116 if you are applying for a regular 5 year passport.

Then, send it to your wife for her to sign and take to the high commission.
