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.

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