what exactly did you find out about birth certificate? Canada issues two types 1. long form that has full details of birth, both parents names, hospital of birth etc. 2. the short form is about a third of a page. its small and can be folded and put in wallet.

why do you need the long form? i cant answer your question fully until you explain what you need it for in your case
