Toronto Emigrant Office Assisted Immigration Registers Database

This database is an index to the four volumes of assisted immigration registers created by the Toronto Emigrant Office between 1865 and 1883 (series RG 11-3). The registers are a chronological listing of those new immigrants who were assisted by the government to travel to many different destinations across southern Ontario. Over 29,000 entries have been transcribed from the registers

There are also passenger lists to Canada before 1865 on The
Olive Tree Genealogy.

There are also some passenger lists for ships to Canada
which were kept by shipping agents in the originating
country. The Passenger Books of J & J Cooke, Shipping
Agents
has passenger names on ships sailing from Londonderry to
Quebec, and St. John New Brunswick from 1847 to 1871.
