The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 understands itself as an inspiration for Canadians by providing the base for a conversation about immigration in Canada. The purpose of the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 is to explore the theme of immigration to Canada in order to enhance public understanding of the experiences of immigrants as they arrived in Canada, of the vital role immigration has played in the building of Canada and of the contributions of immigrants to Canada?s culture, economy and way of life.
