Canada became a country in 1867, about 200 years after the first census was taken in the land. So don't be fooled by the country's relative youth – there are records of interest to genealogists from before nationhood as well as after. The sources in this section apply, for the most part, to all of Canada. Use this page as a reference along with the pages for the specific provinces, territories or topics of interest.
