Applications and pictures must be signed by a guarantor. The list of acceptable guarantors is limited to various "professions"... mostly persons who are bondable, or assumed (ahem) to be reliable by virture of their calling.
Church attendance usually = cleric who at least knows your name on the register.
However, doctors, lawyers chiropractors, and (ta-da) engineers are on the list. It is not necessary that this person be a friend, just that they have known you for at least 2 years. More info at www.ppt.gc.ca/passports/get_guarantors_e.asp.
The list is shorter for Cdns living in the US, and shorter again for Cdns living outside Canada & the US.
