my Guarantor mistakenly told the passport agent on the phone a different address different from the address on my passport application. The address on my driver licence shows the same address in my application form.

i ask him why he will make such a mistake and he told me he did a reference for someone else too so he mixed it up.

will this affect my passport application
 
I guess the worst that can happen is they reject the passport application and you have to re-apply with a different guarantor. More trouble and time consuming but won't change the result - you'll get a passport.

You are basically entitled to a canadian passport as a canadian citizen, unless you fail to provide the required documentation or for legal matters (commiting an offense, using a fake passport and such, we can suppose it doesn't apply to you anyway).

As @ZingyDNA said above, the worst would be to reapply. But my sense is that countless guarantors do mistakes when called, probably not a big deal. If anything, you gave 3 contacts, they can just call the others to ensure that the 1st made a little mistake, and that could be it.

What are the details a guarantor or reference person should know ?
I mean what details could Passport dept officials generally ask?

I also have this question- What are the questions the passport officials usually ask the guarantor (or references) and what are the things these people should remember "by-heart" to answer ?

For eg, do they have to remember our address, job etc?

It would be great If someone answer.

Thanks !!!

I got my passports and no one was contacted. Its just a formality.
If u apply for urgent passport delivery then I feel 100% guarantor & references are cross checked.
You could provide details like hair color, height, address, place of birth, job details, etc to guarantor & reference to be on safe side.

Thank you very much ! For some people they contact and some others not. I don't know whether it is random or any criteria. Anyway good to hear that you got it without such things.

B.t.w, how many days it took for processing yours ( which is normal processing) ?
 
Hi everyone. I applied the passport but when the passport office contact the guarantor, he did not answer and I can not contact him also. I came to the office to explain and suggested for the new application with other guarantor. But they refused and asked me to contact him to call the passport office. What must I do now (I contacted him but he did not answered me) ? Please give me an advise. Thank you so much
 
Finally got my passport today
Would you please tell me how you did next.
