More Help Needed?
 The 1901 Census gives the year of arrival for immigrants.
The 1842 Census gives the number of years an individual has been "in the Province"
Land Records are helpful because immigrants often applied for land shortly after arrival.
Annual
City Directories can help narrow the time
line for immigration.
Death Records sometimes indicate how many years the deceased had resided in Canada.
Find Canadian Naturalization Records
The National Registration of 1940 gives the year of arrival.
You may wish to join CAN-SHIPSLISTS-PRE1865. A mailing list for the discussion
