SHIP PASSENGER LISTS TO CANADA [u]BEFORE 1865[/u]

There are no comprehensive lists of immigrants arriving in
Canada prior to 1865. Until that year, shipping companies
were not required by the government to keep their passenger
manifests.

There are search engines to search multiple websites for
ships going to Canada at

They include most ships lists on the Internet going to
Canada and the online InGeneas databases for immigration to
Canada 1800s
