If I remember correctly there was a specific criteria for engineers to be accepted as referees, just because you have an engineering degree doen't mean you can sign as a referee. The engineer had to be registered with some professional body or something like that. It was somewhere with the list of accepted professions.
I dont mean to discourage anyone, just saying that that is what I read somewhere.
I have used reference from my landlord and GP.
Since GP will not be accepted for Passport, now I am confused.
Please can anyone suggest.
GPs have been off the referee list for a long time. If you applied recently and it was accepted then you might be able to use the same.
On a related note I dont think they will reject your application simply because you got reference from the wrong person. I remember reading that if they are not happy with the references then they will ask you to provide another reference, it might delay your application but should not cause rejection.
Sorry could not be of more help.
