Immigration. Canada is distinguished from most other countries by the diversity of its population.
Our unique cultural, ethnic and linguistic mosaic is reflected in the wide assortment of holdings at Library and Archives Canada associated with the different ethno-cultural groups. The holdings include: immigration records and guides, identity files, travel guides, passenger lists, letters, diaries, journals, memoirs, newspapers (some ethnic titles), maps, art, photographs, music and film. Immigration resources have been sorted into three categories: Immigration RecordsCitizenship and Naturalization RecordsImmigration Heritage Online Kits -- resources for ethno-cultural groups Databases Digitized Microforms Published Sources Research Aids Virtual Exhibitions External Links to Other Institutions.

The Canadian Immigrant Experience. This ambitious project was developed with two key goals in mind. The first was to facilitate improved access for genealogists and other researchers to some of LAC's frequently used immigration documents, such as passenger lists and land grants. Researchers can get tips on how to find documents related to an individual immigrant in Find an Immigrant and access information on some of LAC's major immigration "collections" in The Documentary Trail. The second goal was to provide Canadians with a unique history of Canadian immigration for the years 1800-1939.
Voyageurs - Quick Search. Ship Registration Index. Ship Registration is a title system for the ownership of vessels.
It was implemented in the late XVIIIth Century to ensure that ships used for the transportation of goods inside the British Empire were built and managed by British citizens, including those from colonies. This system remains in place at present, but with different objectives. The Ship Registration Index Database (SRI) contains more than 78,000 entries of ships registered in ports of Canada between 1787 and 1966. Through this research tool, you can obtain information about a ship such as its name, its type, its official number, the year and port of registration, where it was built, its date of construction and, in some cases, what happened to it. The database also allows you to find references for the physical registers or microfilm reels. Links of interest Vessel Registration Query System - Transport Canada [
