Dear friends,
I �ve read something in English and it confuses me. I need an explanation, please help me if you can.
Does "provide a copy of your daughter in Canada �s birth certificate" mean "provide a copy of your daughter �s Canadian birth certificate?"
I am confused with the phrase "in Canada �s birth certificate".
Please help! Thank you. |

They are not quite the same, depending on where your daughter was born. If not in Canada, then she doesn �t have a Canadian birth certificate.
Anyway, it is a rather awkward way of saying "Provide a copy of the birth certificate of your daughter (who lives) in Canada".

Thank Bruce for your help.
As I know, the daughter was not born in Canada. So, that sentence means that "Provide a copy of a birth certificate of your daughter who lives in Canada", does it?

This is how I read the two sentences:
- In the first sentence the daughter lives in Canada, so they want you to provide the birth
certificate of your daughter (who lives) in Canada
- In the second sentence the daughter was born in Canada, and has a Canadian birth
certificate, which they want you to provide.
Cheers,
Marco
