Here is a Research Outline for Canada but be warned -- Canada is the largest country in the world and you MUST know the province or territory and then which township, or county within the province in Canada your ancestors were living, in order to conduct research

Also see my notes on Ontario Research. Ontario was called Canada West and Upper Canada so if your ancestors were from there, you want to look in Ontario.
