About the records
Immigration officials created inspection report cards as they carried out regular inspections of children brought to Canada by various organizations. These records held by Library and Archives Canada date from 1920 to 1932; however, there are a few from 1911 to 1917 and after 1932. There is usually one page per child, showing name, age or date of birth, year of arrival, ship, sending organization, the names and addresses of employers and final comments, e.g. "completed, gone west."
This series also includes inspection cards for some European children, including those brought to Canada by the Armenian Relief Association of Canada (1923-1932) and the Canadian Jewish War Orphans Committee (1920-1921).
The inspection reports are available on the following microfilm reels. The records are arranged in alphabetical order, not by organization. Note that the original records have not survived, and the quality of the microfilm is poor.
