About the Records:
Passengers listed in these records include returning Canadian citizens, immigrants, individuals in transit to the U.S., and visitors to Canada.
Passenger lists were the official immigration records of Canada from 1865-1935. The forms used and the information recorded on them varied throughout the years. Later years usually recorded more details. Depending on the form, information recorded may include:
Name of passenger
Age
Gender
Marital status
Whether ever been in Canada before; If so, when, where, and how long
Whether intend to permanently reside in Canada
Whether able to read and write
Birth country
Race of people
Destination
Occupation
Religious denomination
Port of arrival
Date of arrival
Port of embarkation
Ship name
Shipping line
Related Records:
From 1919-1924 individual manifest forms (Form 30A) were often used instead of passenger lists as the official immigration record. The use of Form 30A, also known as “Ocean Arrivals”, accounts for the most of the gaps in years covered in this database. Ancestry will be adding the “Ocean Arrivals” records in the coming months. If you do not find an individual in this database, you may want to try searching the “Ocean Arrivals” records.
