Hi Mary Lou. It is not access to the records of Census that is available only to residents of Canada. At this moment there is NO access to records after 1906 for anyone -- residents of Canada or otherwise -- and that is what our battle with the bureaucrats is all about. Under the terms of the Access to Information Act only residents of Canada are entitled to make a request for information under the Act - regardless of what government department that request is directed to. In a review of the ATI Act there were recommendations to change that but to my knowledge nothing has yet been changed. When access to post 1906 Census records is finally allowed it is expected that the same terms of access will apply to everyone, regardless of whether a resident of Canada or elsewhere. Thanks for your interest and support. Happy Hunting.

Hi Gordon.....as I read it the access is only available to residents of Canada?? How does one in the U.S. obtain access? Best wishes....mary lou sun valley, id usa
