French Canadian birth certificate
This is on an abbreviated version of a Fr Can birth certificate, obviously, the issuer of the birth certificate. (The rest of the document is merely name, date and place of birth, date of issuance.) The American version would be something like Director of Office of Vital Statistics, but is there an official French Canadian version? I cannot find one on the Canadian govt. site. (Grand dictionnaire says "aucune fiche").

: From your Can. gov. reference: "To obtain a copy of a certificate please contact the Vital Statistics Office of the province in which the event occurred." Also see FR and EN titles for New Brunswick. Maybe "Registrar" instead of "Registrar General.

Thanks cc// Yes, the elevated personage him/herself is unlikely to open the letter, but probably has to sign the copy certificate.

Directeur de l'état civil
In Canada, birth certificates are issued by each province. The title "Directeur de l'état civil" is used in Quebec so I believe the birth certificate was issued in that province. And in Quebec, the title remains the same whether the birth certificate is printed in French or English. You can check out the site and an example of the form.
