While trolling through the LAC site, I found this. Hopefully it won't take to long to get the database up and running :-\
Domestics Brought to Canada
Mr Leverne Baxter and the Canadian Genealogy Centre signed a memorandum of agreement on July 9, 2007. This agreement will permit users of the Canadian Genealogy Centre Web site to consult a new online searchable nominal index of over 1500 domestics brought to Canada from Great Britain by Mrs Helen Sanford between 1898 and 1914 and by Mr. Benjamin Pipe, between 1905 and 1911.
This online nominal index will offer genealogists and all researchers interested in social and women's history increased access to Library and Archives Canada significant collection on immigration to Canada.

I just discovered the wealth of Canadian resources listed here, and thought I'd add mine to the list, as well as ask for help making it better.
I have been working on a guide to free online international birth and baptismal records, indexes and transcriptions for about a year now, and there is a special page there for Canada with free online Canadian birth and baptism resources.
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~thecohens/birthindexes-ca.html
So far, we have entries for Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.
But we have found no free birth or baptismal index, announcement, or transcription sites thus far for Northwest Territories, Nunavut, or the Yukon.
I am on dialup, so surfing around to locate more resources presents a major challenge, and suggestions of any more free sites with birth announcement or index transcriptions you know of for Canada, that we may have missed, would be appreciated.
Thanks!

LAC have recently put up a new entry on their microform digitization: WWI veterans' death cards.
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/microform-digitization/index-e.html
These are not for men who died in WWI; these are cards for veterans who died in Canada, where Veteran Affairs was notified of their death. The few I flicked through had deaths from 1920 to 1962, and give death date/place of death and some also have place of burial/next of kin.
