The best time for persons with little or no capital to go out is 

 from April to July — the earlier the better. Domestic servants may 

 start at any time of the year. 



There are no free or assisted passages to Canada. The 

 No Assisted full ordinary steamship fares must be paid by all immi- 

 Passacfes. grants, and they must also have enough money in 



addition to pay for their railway fares from the port 

 of landing to their destination, and to provide board and lodging 

 until work is secured. The Government does not render any assistance 

 in these matters, and all new-comers must be self-supporting. The 

 Government Agents do not book passengers, and intending emigrants 

 are advised to consult the local steamship agents on that subject. 

 Neither do they recommend any one line more than another. They 

 are quite impartial in both respects. 



It is not necessary to say anything in detail about the 

 Boolcing various steamers going to Canada, or about the fares. All 

 Passages. such information can be obtained from the advertising 



columns of the newspapers, or from the steamship agents, 

 who are to be found in every town or village. Passengers are 

 recommended to take through tickets (including ocean and rail 

 tickets) to their destinations in Canada. They are issued by the 

 steamship companies, and in this way it is often possible to save 

 money — as through tickets often cost less than the ocean ticket and 

 the Canadian rail ticket if taken separately. Many of the railway 

 companies in Great Britain issue cheap railway tickets from various 

 places to the ports of embarkation, such as Liverpool, London, and 

 Glasgow, and in these cases information may be obtained from the 

 railway booking oflices. 



Passengers should pay particular attention to the labelling 

 Liujgarje, of their luggage, and labels may be obtained from the 



steamship companies. They should also bear in mind that 

 the steamship companies only carry free a limited quantity of baggage,
