Dear Archives Team,

I am researching my grandfather, Amarjit Singh Grewal, and I am hoping to confirm details of his immigration to Canada.

Family information suggests he travelled from the United Kingdom to Canada around 1967, possibly for work. I am trying to establish his exact arrival date, port of entry, and any records that may exist relating to his landing or residency.

Here are the details I have:

Name: Amarjit Singh Grewal 
Born: c.1930–1937 Potential (India) 
Lived in the UK: 1958–1967 (Charlton and Crayford, London) 
Likely immigration year: 1966–1968 
Possible destination: Ontario or British Columbia (not confirmed)

If you hold any passenger lists, landing records, immigration files, or work permit documents for this period, I would be very grateful for any assistance or guidance on how to locate them.

Thank you very much for your time and help.

Kind regards, 
Leo
 :)
