Library and Archives Canada does not hold copies of post-1935 records. Records of immigrants arriving at Canadian land and seaports from January 1, 1936 onwards remain in the custody of '''Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada''''. To request a copy of another person's immigration record, you must mail a signed request to the under-noted office:
====Before 1865====
''There are very few passenger lists for ships coming into Canada before 1865 as they were destroyed or never created.''<br>
<br>
Substitute records have been used to help document individuals coming to Canada during this time but are very incomplete. They include declarations of aliens and other naturalization records, diaries, newspaper articles, and other records indicating immigration to Canada.<br>
<br>
The [https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/Pages/home.aspx Library and Archives of Canada website] has posted an [https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/immigration/immigration-records/passenger-lists/Pages/introduction.aspx index] of some lists that have survived. Other databases containing information suggesting immigration are found in the [[Canada Emigration and Immigration#Online Records|Online Records]] section above.<br>
 
====1865 to 1935====
''Passenger lists are available for ports in Canada starting in 1865. Many records are online and can be found in the [[Canada Emigration and Immigration#Online Records|Online Records]] section above.''<br><br>
Most immigrants to Canada arrived at the ports of Quebec and Halifax, although many came to New York and then traveled to Canada by way of the Hudson River, [[Erie Canal|Erie Canal]], and Great Lakes. A few arrived in Portland, Maine, then traveled overland to Canada. Surviving lists for Quebec date from 1865 and for Halifax from 1881.

Beginning in 1784, large numbers of '''American Loyalists''' came from the United States to settle along the St. Lawrence River. Most of the earliest settlers of Upper Canada (Ontario) were natives of the United States. By 1810, eighty percent of the white population of the province was estimated to have been born in the U.S., but only 25 percent of them were Loyalists (who had arrived by 1796) or their descendants. The rest were Americans who had recently come to Canada for land or other economic opportunities. '''New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania''' were listed as states of origin of many of these "late Loyalists," as they were sometimes called.
