Clarification on Guarantor

Background: I submitted for a Citizenship application within Canada and I have attended the Ceremony. Currently waiting for the certificate so I can apply for the passport.

Need some clarification about the guarantor.

This section says the guarantor has to be a Citizen but the Guarantor declaration form itself doesn't mention that as a requirement. In fact the form has an occupation as a requirement which the section doesn't.

What am I misunderstanding?

He needs to be a Canadian citizen, cuz there is a passport number in the section. it does not make sense to get a guarantee from a citizen in another country. :D

It’s the curious case of overthinking.

There's no passport number section in the declaration form. Not sure what you're referring to. There's only a registration number. Plus the declaration form doesn't specify the guarantor to be a citizen hence the confusion

Wrong form.
The guarantor form for passport application is IN the passport application. You might want to take your time and read the correct form first.
:cool:

Or the instructions:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports/travel-documents-references-guarantors.html#in-canada

"Your guarantor must...
... be a Canadian citizen 18 years of age or older"

Note, I don't believe this specific requirement for guarantor applies if one applies OUTSIDE Canada. If there's any gap or difference in forms for passport #, it could be because of this distinction. But I'm too lazy to look up the forms since the instructions are so clear.
