contains(//statecodes/coderec,"Canada")

You might want to see if you can avoid the for-each (see my reply to
Alan Gardner's question with the subject " Xpath and for-each looping")
and  the "//"  in the interest of efficiency, but if your files are
small or run fast enough, the "//" probably is OK to leave as is.
