SHIPS LISTS ONLINE

Before April 1908, people were able to move freely across the border from the United States into Canada. No record of immigration exists for those individuals.

From 1908-1918 The lists are arranged by border port and date of entry. The Government of Canada did not keep records of people leaving the country

1919-1924: From January 1919 to the end of 1924, individual forms (Form 30) were used to record immigrants entering Canada from or via the United States.

1925-1935: Border Entry Lists were begun again. A series of old nominal indexes exists for the years 1925-1935 but they are not open to the public. Surnames C only can be searched for 1925-1935 in the online Immigration Record Database
