Just a quick question for the future. When you apply for passport you need 1 Guarantor and 2 references right? Can the reference have only permanent residents ? Or they have to have Canadian citizenship? I know it is stated that Guarantor have to be Canadian citizen. Thanks so much!

References don't need to be Canadian citizens. However, references cannot be your family members. Guarantor MUST be a Canadian citizen and have a valid passport OR a passport that isn't expired for more than 1 year.

Thank you so much. So if I understand this correctly. Guarantor can be family members including for instance wife?
