Do we need a guarantor for the passport application? Does he/she has to be Canadian citizen only?
Can someone please guide here. At what stage of the citizenship application would you need a guarantor. Also please confirm if they have to visit in person with you to sign at Service Ontario/service.

I personally don't know any Canadian citizen. So i was wondering whom to ask for signing it if required.

Appreciate it.

In my personal knowledge, you only need guarantor for the passport application, not for citizenship. The guarantor doesn't have to show in person with you, only need to sign the passport application. He or she has to be a canadian citizen, and has a canadian passport. I think if you dont know any canadian citizen (but keep in mind, your family doctor, superintendent etc can be a guarantor) you need to pay for a notary public. Someone correct me if I missed something

You would need a guarantor while you apply for the passport after you complete the citizenship application, after you get the citizenship certificate in hand.

The guarantor needs to be a Canadian citizen and should know you for at least 2 years. He has to give his personal info, passport details and sign your application form, photos etc., but doe not have to accompany you to Service Canada or Passport office.

In addition, you would also need 2 references who also know you for more than 2 years but they don't have to be citizens.

More details can be found here - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports/travel-documents-references-guarantors.html
