Free Immigration Records Look-Up on Ancestry

Ancestry is offering FREE access to the Immigration Records only for Labor Day Weekend! I'm not certain if this offer is valid only within the United States?

Labour Day is also a holiday in Canada.

I was able to access UK immigration lists, Canadian passenger lists and much more. Found records of Aunt's family returning to Scotland from Canada 1956.

Worthwhile checking.
