I'm not sure but I think the guarantor doesn't have to live in the same province that you apply for passport. If you know an eligible person in the province you previously lived (as long as he/she has a valid canadian passport and knows you for 2 years is good enough) just mail him/her the application to sign it and mail it back. I think this could work but better ask the passport office.

This is what I am trying to avoid. With Canada Post not being very reliable, I don't want to be mailing applications back and forth.
This is why we want to use that other form.
To be honest we are only few months short of "knowing" someone for the required amount of time, but we want to apply for passports now as we travel quite a lot.
To be honest, I was very surprised seeing all the requirements for simple passport application. I lived in European countries and there is no such requirements. If you are a citizen, you fill out a simple form (that doesn't ask you where you have lived or what you were doing for the last 3 years, just what your address is and your features to put in the passport) and provide the photos - that's it.

Did you get to apply for new passport without guarantor? May you please suggest me how did you do that and how long does it take?
I am in Ontario and have to apply for fresh passport for my newborn baby. But I dont have any guarantor.
