[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Canadian Immigrants

[JSchu9014 at aol.com]

Hello everyone,
Can anyone tell me if immigrants entering Canada from the Volhynia area or 
from anywhere in Europe had to complete some kind of form for the Canadian 
government?  And if so, were all immigrants required to do this?  Although my 
grandfather stayed in Edmonton for about four years, he then crossed the 
boarder to enter the United States.  His brother stayed in Edmonton and later 
moved to British Columbia.  If the German Volhynian people became citizens of 
Canada, were there papers that had to be completed as there is in the United 
States?  If so, is it possible to obtain copies of any of these papers even 
if the person requesting the information is not a citizen of Canada? 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
