Many immigrants to Canada came from the United States or sailed from Europe to American ports on their way to Canada. Before April 1908, people were able to move freely across the border from the United States into Canada; no record of immigration exists for those individuals. In 1908, the government of Canada started recording border arrivals on border entry lists which were the official record of immigration; there are no immigrant applications or files. The lists are arranged by border port and date of entry.

Between 1903 and 1914 was the building of the Canal in Panama. When it was finished in 1914 it created a safer and quicker passage for ships moving from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean and up along the North American  west coast. Until 1914 the ships had to make a very dangerous journey all the way south to go around the tip of South America. Because of the turbulent waters in that region, there were many early ship wrecks.

From January 1919 to the end of 1924, individual forms were used to record immigrants entering Canada from or via the United States. Please note that the border entry records are only about 50% complete. Not all immigrants crossed the border at official ports, or, if the port was closed at the time, they would have entered the country without being registered. Also, many families were not registered because the parents had been born in Canada or had previously resided in Canada, and were considered to be returning Canadians, not immigrants.
