Seeking father's birth certificate

Hali Rosen Jul 31, 2019 8:30 AM

My father was born in Toronto Canada March 15, 1910 probably at home. He immigrated to the United States and became a citizen but the Archives in Canada cannot locate his birth certificate.

I have his US passport that states he was born in Canada. The Social Security Administration does not need a birth certificate to apply for a card. The State Department cannot locate his documents for his passport application. I am stuck.

Dear Ms. Rosen,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

Since he was born in Toronto, Canada, please contact Ontario Services to request a copy of his birth certificate at https://www.ontario.ca/page/get-or-replace-ontario-birth-certificate or you may request it at https://vitalcertificates.ca/province/ontario/birth-certificate.

We suggest that you review the National Archives website for immigration-related research tips as well as read an article published in NARA’s Prologue magazine on Canadian Border Crossing Records for more information.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
