1925-1935
From 1925 to 1935 they went back to using a list of immigrants, rather than individualized forms. These forms were not necessarily the same as the forms used from 1908 to 1918, so fields may differ. Additionally, some copies of Form 30 that were left over were still used in the first few months of 1925. These records, numbering more than 830,000 immigrants into Canada, are found on microfilm series T-15346 through T-15393 of Record Group 76 from the Library and Archives Canada.

Canada » Border Crossings into Canada

Before 1908 there are no records of people crossing the border into Canada. From the Library and Archives Canada, the repository that maintains the microfilm archives of these records, “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.”
