Pls check the above link for full info regarding "Guarantor"
第一条里说:.Guarantor必须是加拿大公民且居住在加拿大的,而不是所谓的"游客,学生"
最后说,如果找不到上述的人士做guarantor,可以做公证.而无需"同时必须找两个认识两年以上的人(任何职业)做证明".

Declaration in lieu of guarantor

满囤 说:
这是个问题。我们当时也想尽办法才解决。但这就是法规规定的,必须这样做,否则办不了。
你在中国认识超过两年的朋友也可以,只要能在加拿大找到他且懂英文法文,游客、学生都可以。(我是指后一种情况,即你找不到认识两年以上的医生律师之类)
护照办公室一定会打电话去核实的,问的问题非常详细。诸如你认识她(母亲)多久?什么时候在哪里认识的?他们住在哪里?她(母亲)多大年纪?孩子啥时候出生的?她(母亲)做什么工作的?她先生做什么工作的?等等,无聊之极也详细之极。
