No problem.. any way to help!
fletcher, go anywhere that ADVERTISES passport photos. The cheapest and fastest place Ive found for passport photos is Walmart. They take your picture and you pick them up in half an hour after wandering around the store laughing at all the fools. I think its 8.99 for two. They will come stamped on the back with the place and date. You then take them to your guarantor (sp??) and have him sign them. Use your family doctor or something like that, they also have to sign the form you send in IIRC (if i remember correctly). Then you have your birthcertificate as well as your other supporting document. The guarrantor must have known you for five years and is a 'professional', like a doctor or professional engineer. IF you dont have one, you have to use a notary public, which will cost you 25 bucks at least.
Just so everyone knows, for an extra 5 dollars more now in canada, you can get a 48 page passport instead of the regular 24. I get that now, otherwise I fill up three passports in 5 years.. I really hope they increase the longevity of the passports as well from 5 to ten years like ALL the other countries.
