The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 is located in a national historic site at the Halifax seaport. Nearly one million immigrants landed in Canada here from 1928 to 1971. Today, as a national museum, we share the ongoing story of immigration to Canada—past to present, and coast to coast. Our content onsite, online and in our podcast, immerses visitors in the immigration experience, allowing for a deeper understanding of how newcomers continue to shape our country. Countless Journeys. One Canada.
