Where your Pickering document goes after the stamp

Most papers signed here are sent on to someone else. Knowing who reads it next decides what you bring.

Passport, no guarantor

IRCC’s form PPTC 132, the Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor, is declared before a notary or commissioner. It then goes in with your passport application.
