Hi I found this on Statistics Canada's site and thought it might be of interest to some. It's a wee bit costly, but maybe someone needs it. I did know about the registration but hadn't realized it was both man and women. I had thought it was only men, because of the war and it wasn't. It was everyone 16 yrs and older. There is an order form on the site. Regards Juanita http://www.statcan.ca/english/IPS/Data/93C0006.htm Searches of the National Registration File of 1940 | Abstract | Note | Contact info | Catalogue No.: 93C0006 Availability date: April 01, 2002 Frequency: On demand Language: English or French Status: Ongoing Subject: Population and demography Abstract: The National Registration File of 1940 resulted from the compulsory registration of all persons, 16 years of age or older, in the period from 1940 to 1946. This information was originally obtained under the authority of The National Resources Mobilization Act and the War Measures Act. Custody of the records was subsequently given to Statistics Canada, then known as the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. As a result, the National Registration File of 1940 is not subject to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act but is instead covered by the Privacy Act. According to this Act, when a person has been dead for more than 20 years, the information is no longer considered to be personal and can be disclosed. Note: Name, address, age, date of birth, conjugal status, dependents, country of birth (persons registered and parents only), nationality, racial origin, languages, education, general health, class of occupation, occupation or craft, employment status, work experience by type, mechanical or other abilities, latent skills, wartime circumstances, previous military service. A search can be undertaken for an individual after the following information or documentation has been provided: - Proof t hat the individual has been deceased for more than 20 years (a death certificate is preferable. However, any document which indicates the date of death, for example an obituary notice, is acceptable.); - The individual's place of residence during the registration period. Price notes: To provide third-party information from the National Registration File of 1940 for genealogical purposes, a standard fee of $48.15 ($45 search fee and $3.15 GST) is charged for each search undertaken that is successful in locating the requested record. A cheque or money order made payable to Statistics Canada is required.

It was also done for the 1st World War, but no record of it (for that period) exist today. Also if the 1940 registration is for yourself, it does not cost anything.
