http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/s ... hub=CanadaPassport Canada's web police are having a tough time eradicating a rogue application form from the Internet.
The form is PPTC 132, used by people who want to apply for a passport but can't find anyone to act as a guarantor in vouching for their identity.
The passport agency considers the blank form a potential security risk and insists that anyone who wants to fill one out must appear at an office to request a copy in person.
And the primary source of the online leak is the federal Foreign Affairs Department, which has helpfully posted it to several government of Canada websites.
Typically, Canadians who are overseas and need a passport require the form, which allows them to make their own declaration under oath.
So Passport Canada takes the form off their website, yet it is still live on the websites of many other government departments. To me this is a sign of government being 'too big'.
