My wife just went through this (first time passport after she became a citizen) a few months ago and the process is largely unchanged from when I did it like 15 years ago. If I'm being polite I'd call your representation here "intentionally misleading". You can print the forms at home or anywhere else (https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/passport/forms/pdf/pptc153.pdf https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/englis...). If you're unable to print a copy yourself at home or work, print them at your library, get a friend to print them, get a copy shop to print them, or figure out literally any possible way to turn a PDF into paper then yes, you can get a copy of the application from the post office or Service Canada. There was no information requested about "the doctor who delivered you". Your guarantor does _not_ need to be a public servant. It's literally anyone with a Canadian passport that has known you for two years, including family. Public servants (doctors, judges, lawyers, police officers, dean of a university, signing officer of a financial institution, etc) are an _alternative_ if you cannot find literally a single person in your life that has known you for two years with a passport and have no relatives with a passport. And if that fails, you can just fill out a form saying you literally know nobody. As to the rest, the actual requirements[0] are: You need to provide: - Proof of Canadian citizenship (birth certificate, certificate of citizenship, etc) - A piece of photo ID from any local or foreign government entity. You can submit a photocopy if a guarantor signs it. - Two passport photos but they're really not as difficult to obtain as you're trying to imply. Walmart does them for like $8. Pretty much any drug store will do them. Costco does them. You need to get one of them signed by your guarantor. - Two references: Literally any two adults that have known you for at least two years that aren't related to you. They do not need to be citizens. They don't need to sign anything. Just write down two people you've known for two years. Then you mail it in. My wife ran to the Shoppers down the block and got her photos in ten minutes, took us maybe 30 minutes to print and fill out the application and a ninety cent stamp to mail it.
