Before 1865, ship manifests did not have to be kept, thus making it harder for researchers to find records. Some early ship passenger lists and emigration scheme records do survive, but you need to know where to look.
Since 1869, Canada’s immigration policies have determined who was eligible to immigrate to Canada and when. Who was the ideal immigrant settler? How did the government “sell” the Canadian West to immigrants?
