Title: Ontario Death Certificates
Post by: Razzy on Monday 09 April 12 05:40 BST (UK)
Hi All,
I am not sure how to find 'New Topic' in the Ontario folder.
I want to have a copy of a death certificate form for Ontario.
When I go online, I find one that is made in Nelson BC that demands $65. I believe the price in Ontario, the official form is $50. I have to fill this form out hardcopy, since I do not have a copier, I have to download then send to a friend who has a copier. I hope to send a money order or a certified cheque. I believe the city I send the form to is Thunder Bay.
Can someone help me please , post the correct place to find this death certificate form for Ontario, believing the price is $50.
Thanks,
Razzy

Hi Razzy,

What year did the death occur? 

Is this a site that may contain the information you need:

Hello Razzy,

You are correct with the vital records office being in Thunder Bay. The Office of the Register Geneeral is in this Province of Ontario building at the corner of Red River and Fort William Roads. The Government of Ontario website for this is http://www.ontario.ca/en/services_for_residents/index.htm. You can order BMD records for those people that fall under the privacy act from here as long as you meet their requirements. The Archives of Ontario site given by susano hold the records that have gone public and are not any longer covered under the privacy act (90 year restriction I believe). These records are also available thru Ancestry. Ancestry can be accessed for free at some public libraries.

Hope this helps, JDC

You had a previous thread called "Ignace, Ontario" regarding a death in Ontario.  Tons of information and suggestions were supplied to you. 

In reply #32 Karen gave you the link to Service Ontario and you were also supplied with current costs of between $15.00 and $22.00 for a death certificate from Ontario that does not come through a 3rd party agency.

Hi Debbie,
where is #32? I searched 37 pages under canada requests and did not find Ignace, Ontario
I am hoping I can download and fill out the form by hand.

If we are given the person's name and year of death someone may be able to find the death for you.

This should take you to the Ignace, Ontario thread and Karen's reply.

I pointed out that you had previously obtained this information on your own thread called "Ignace, Ontario".  JDC in reply #2 on this topic also provided you with the link to Service Ontario - did you not even look at that site provided?

Hi Debbie,
actually 2011 was a very bad fiscal year, I have been supporting a parent and only worked 4 months out of the whole year, this in Vancouver -quite an expensive city by any standard, ok??
oh, by the way, I am self employed (no E.I. benefits) so I am a go getter.
Thanks

My comments are only directed at the information that was previously provided to you and then again on this thread which you seem to not look at.

Hi Debbie,
geniecolgan actually understood my request.
'Forms' are not readily found in the Ontario online site, neither does the site properly direct searchers to this need. As noted, many are having this same difficulty.

Not really sure why you are having such difficulties in ordering a death certificate from the Province of Ontario?  It is extremely self explanatory.  If you want to print off forms and mail them, you can do that from the Service Ontario site as well.

There's another link to Service Ontario site...you have 3 choices for ordering a death certificate, on-line, service counter or by mail..

click on the "by mail" one and the form will pop up, fill it out and send it in...easy peasy  :)

Hi KarenM,
I am not sure either why no one can properly read why I cannot use the download, or even find it.
And also the other reason why I must have a hard copy to send.
It seems easy peasy to me, but reading may be a lost art?
But anyways, I have the hardcopy.
cheers,
Razzy

Hello Razzy. If you are having problems with the Ontario site...Please complain to the source of your problems, if you wish to complain about forms etc.  We are a family history site and you have been directed to a resource, which is more than enough on our part.  Please be polite to these people, most of them are ace researchers, and you'd like to have them happy should you need their advice..... Thanks. J.J.

Hi JJ,
I have been very polite. I have shown great restraint and maturity when provoked.
Also, I have never made a complaint.
Please be assured I have many stresses on my plate as I have politely expressed in condensed form.
I do not need to be attacked nor provoked, I did  not return the aggression.
As a human being on this planet, it is only right to stand up for myself, I should not cower, agreed?
Might does not make right; I am confident in re-reading and examining the comprehension of my notes my requests were reasonable, they were not complaints.
They were requests for help, needing help, showing why I needed help.
Nothing in what or the way I wrote deserved me being berated publicly. 
If the researchers and yourself decide I am a complainer, even after this, that would be disappointing.
Thanks,
Razzy

Your restraint and maturity are noted, but I just asked that you complain to the website on which you were having trouble, as it is used all the time with no effort...so your problem is an issue you should discuss with them...

BTW I am a freelancer as well, and am not rich...we all have stress in our lives. I think the moderator might want to delete this post as it is going nowhere...
