The Canadian Museum of Immigration is located at Pier 21, a national historic site at the Halifax Seaport. Almost one million immigrants arrived at this gateway to North America between 1928 and 1971. Today as Canada’s sixth national museum, our exhibitions immerse visitors in the immigration experience and foster a deeper understanding of Canada’s ongoing story of immigration. Countless Journeys. One Canada.
