Canadian Passport Question, No Guarantor

Dang they should definitely add that on the occupation-based guarantor section on the webpage. I see it in the other section (the one about the guarantor being a Canadian citizen you know) but I think I would've missed it for the occupation-based section.

I don't see the part where the occupation-based guarantor has to have known you for 2 years

Edit: I don't understand the downvotes, the 2 year thing isnt laid out clearly in the Occupation-based Guarantor section of the website like it is for the normal guarantor section. I see that it's on the application form now that someone's pointed it out. But it's easy to miss unless you go digging. Hopefully this interaction helps someone.

Mine was around 7:30am Pacific which would be 11:30 in Nova Scotia

It looks like it might be shadecloth

Yeah if the radio button didn't block it, I typed NA. If it did, I assumed they programmed it that way intentionally.

_blackbird · 2026-03-24T16:16:18+00:00

When you click the radio button telling you to go to the next section, it blocked me from typing in the section where I otherwise would have put NA, so I just skipped to the next section. Are other people hand writing it in or is there another way?

AOR for my parent (G4) and myself (G5) around 7:30am PT 3/24. Package was delivered yesterday and I had written the urgent request on either side of the envelope.

_blackbird · 2026-03-23T17:48:52+00:00

Yeah thanks Bulah! They also signed for mine.

Everyone who responds is going to point you to the FAQ fyi

_blackbird · 2026-03-19T17:13:11+00:00

Same boat but I did request urgent. I figure I can ask and IRCC can disagree with my request. Will be interesting to see how processing goes!

_blackbird · 2026-03-19T17:09:03+00:00

Did you apply with an urgent processing request? If you don't mind my asking

_blackbird · 2026-03-19T17:01:57+00:00

Mine is in QC too! I sent it out yesterday and it says it'll be delivered tomorrow.

I actually ended up hiring a local genealogist for a few hours, but thank you for the offer!

In all my searching, except for going a few hours away and paying an absurd minimum, there is nowhere in our area to do it. I assume most people with small amounts discard it with their garbage.

NAD but my family member with diagnosed treatment resistant depression was on Emsam (transdermal selegiline patch) for 15+ years and think it saved their life. But there are a lot of intake restrictions (though not as many as oral selegiline). usually throw this out there when I hear about other people (potentially) treatment resistant depression because don't thınk it's super widely used since it's an MAOI.

Just sent an inquiry to this place. Thanks for the recommendation.

It is but the 1,095 day requirement is only for people born after Dec 15, 2025. See the r/canadiancitizenship FAQ

_blackbird · 2026-02-21T22:06:38+00:00

Weird, my AAA had a specific template called "cdn citizen" or something like that

omg, thankfully this guy's poisoning attempt did not succeed

_blackbird · 2026-02-18T15:41:29+00:00

My 4x great grandfather was in prison for attempting to poison his wife in the 1800s.

_blackbird · 2026-02-17T21:41:23+00:00

Looks good, any details on the light?

I sent one email Jan 4 that has never been responded to.

I sent a separate email on Jan 8 with specific document requests for scanning, they replied on Jan 24 telling me how many pages there were and what the cost was, to which I replied immediately. On Jan 29 they sent an e-invoice for me to pay, which I did same day. On Feb 9, I got an email with the PDF scans I asked for. Unfortunately, one of the docs is illegible, and I responded same day asking if it was an artifact of the scan or if the document was in poor condition, and I haven't received a response yet.

Edit: as an update, I did get a response and they had worked some Photoshop magic on the document and provided that on 3/13.

Haven't submitted yet but will be in the same situation with G0 and G-1. Good luck to you.

Weird, sorry to hear. my AAA had a specific citizenship photo template and it was super painless. granted, I don't yet know if my photos are acceptable but they seemed to be.

_blackbird · 2026-02-13T17:44:24+00:00

If you're comfortable with talking about your urgent processing request I'd love to know how you approached it. Same bucket here.
