Bah. So my passport application has encountered a bit of a hitch. I need a guarantor for it who is:
(1) British or a commonwealth citizen
(2) A professional of some sort (ie. engineer, doctor, lawyer, government official, school teacher)
(3) Has known me for two or more years
Luckily, any Canadian qualifies as #1, but unfortunately, no one I know now, who I see regularly, qualifies as #3. Likewise, many of the people I knew in the US qualify as #2 or #3, but few if any qualify also as #1.
At this point, the only way I can do this is to hunt down one of the doctors I was seeing 6 years ago, and have them do it... but getting their time might be difficult. The other option is to lie, and I'm not comfortable doing that, if only because researching facts is a lot easier these days.
Bah. Everything else is ready to go (except the passport photos, which I can get anytime).
