Quebec was not the only port of entry to Canada. My McClymonts came in through some other place. Can't remember where but I think my daughter said St. Johns was a port. Anyone know?

I'm not sure about this, but wouldn't Halifax, Nova Scotia be a major port, too?

Absolutely. Halifax was the premier port in British North America during and following the American Revolution. It was one of the British Navy's strong points. However, it is located on the east coast of Nova Scotia. There is limited land available in Nova Scotia itself, and it was largely taken up by the Loyalists early on. Thus, most emigrants tended toward St. John and Quebec. By the way, the term "the Maritimes" refers to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Newfoundland and Labrador are considered separately. French Acadia included present day Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, and parts of Maine and Quebec.
