Do you know much about Richard's emigration? Generally, more information was given at the port of arrival rather than that of departure. If you knew this it may help you find some information. For immigration information in Canada, you should check the Natioanl Library and Archives at http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/index-e.html
