Ontario long form birth certificates: What info do they contain?
OK, so. I can find, online, a summary of what the short form birth certificate in Ontario contains so far as fields/what info is on the thing.
However, the Ontario.ca website on the matter just says that the long form birth certificate is...longer. Not real helpful, guys!
Reason I'm asking:
For an RP I'm involved in (based off of "Ender's Game"), one of the students was raised by their dad. Who sucked at the whole "being a parent" thing in numerous ways. So my character had the bright idea (they have a crush on the target character to motivate them) of seeing about helping find their mom, who the target character never knew. The plot is largely "for the d'awwws", so to speak.
One of the *obvious* questions as we start this mini-plot is "What info would be on the character's birth certificate?"
Well, character was born in Toronto, neither of us IRL is Canadian, hence the question here. Also, since I'm the GM (of sorts) of this plot, I figured a handy GM trick would be to draw up a text copy of the full birth certificate.
