The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 (also known as simply ‘Pier 21') is the location where over one million immigrants entered Canada for the first time from 1928-1971. Similar to New York’s Ellis Island, today Pier 21 has been transformed into a museum that documents the building’s history and the history of those who entered into Canada this way along with a bit about their lives and journeys.
