Upper Canada Sundries, Reference: RG 5 A1, Volume 37, passes numbered 17228-17578, microfilm: C-4601. Civil Secretary’s Correspondence – Passes signed by British Consul, New York, for Emigrants from Great Britain, 1817-1819. Microfilm is available at Canadiana.org but it is not indexed.
I have extracted the names and basic information for 199 people who applied for permission to leave New York for Upper Canada (present day Ontario). The names are listed at Olive Tree Genealogy. The actual passes contain more information including age, place of origin, occupation, how many in family and sometimes detailed notes about the immigrant.
The passes begin at Image 33 with number 17228. To find an ancestor pass, just find him in the list at Olive Tree Genealogy then, copy his pass number then paste it into the search engine that says Search within this reel
