Let me answer. The procedures are essential identical. As for the booklets, all Canadian passports are issued in Canada, except the temporary passport that is available to those who urgently need one abroad. However, the regular five-year passports are all printed in Canada and they are distributed to the clients through Canadian missions abroad.
You spoke about guarantors. You mentioned professors and so forth. When they are abroad, they can use either the old or the new policy with regard to guarantors, who can be either a Canadian passport holder or a professional included in the list.
