If neither of these is known, you can search the Canadian passenger list records or Canadian census records on Ancestry. Census records often include the year a person arrived in Canada. For details on the microfilms, see section 3-10 of the library’s guide: Canadian Family History Resources: A Guide to the Materials Held at Cloverdale Library.
