	It's not easy to access Canadian records.You have to know what province the event occured in. Certificates are a provincial responsibility.

For Manitoba see vitalstats.gov.mb.ca/Query.php - you can see enough info usually to know whether it is the one you want. For Saskatchewan see vsgs.health.gov.sk.ca/vsgs_srch.aspx - not complete yet but worth looking at. For any other province, if you google the province name and vital stats you should find something. Hope this helps you.
