Library & Archives Canada - I have used this site to find Canadian Census Records & Military Records but there is much more available.  Although the last Federal administration slashed funding to these resources, a different party is leading the country now, so there is hope.

Internet Archive Digital Library - there are all kinds of free resources here including passenger lists. I found two great-grandfathers on lists here when I failed to find them elsewhere.
