Landed Immigrant | 25L Jumbo Tote

"Landed Immigrant" wasn't just a legal status; it was a uniquely Canadian title handed to those arriving on our shores. You didn't get a warm welcome—you got off the boat, your name was pushed aside, and you were handed a number. You were an entry in a bureaucratic ledger identifying you as a passenger on a specific shipping line. The number featured in this design, CPR 1736800, isn’t just some imagined sequence pulled from a history book to look authentic. It was my great-grandfather’s actual passenger number on Canadian Pacific Ocean Services. Like so many others, that's how my Canadian story began. 

This collection is a heavy, wearable reminder of the cold, institutional reality of showing up with nothing but the clothes on their backs and the absolute chutzpah to build a life from scratch.
