You are quoting from the list of possible professions for a guarantor when you apply from outside of Canada. In Canada the requirements are easier to meet.
Your guarantor must:
have known you for at least two years
if the guarantor is for your child’s passport, they must have known you for at least two years and must know of your child
be available if we need to contact them
be a Canadian citizen 18 years of age or older
provide the information needed that’s in their passport
have been 16 years of age or older when he or she applied for his or her own passport

two identical passport photos (the name and the complete address of the photographer and the date the photos were taken must be included on the back of one of the photos. Read the full requirements for more information)
any valid Canadian travel document issued in your name
If you apply at a passport office you will need to take all the necessary documents, but they will not need to keep your certificate.
if the guarantor is for your child’s passport, they must have known you for at least two years and must know of your child
be available if we need to contact them
be a Canadian citizen 18 years of age or older
provide the information needed that’s in their passport
have been 16 years of age or older when he or she applied for his or her own passport
hold a five-year or 10-year Canadian passport that, on the day you submit your application, is:
expired for no more than one year or
valid, meaning it isn’t:
expired
damaged
inaccessible
suspended or revoked
reported lost or stolen
found and returned
been destroyed by us
requested to be returned
If you’re the parent or legal guardian and you’re applying on behalf of your child, you cannot sign as guarantor on your child’s application. However, the other parent (not submitting the application) can sign as long as they meet the requirements.
