Ancestry adds this Ontario database of 33,607 records. Created by the Toronto Emigrant Office, the original is "a chronological listing of those new immigrants who were assisted by the government to travel to different destinations across southern Ontario." That's according to the description at https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/immigration-records-1865-1883.
The search on Ancestry provides name, arrival date, arrival place, and destination as well as a link to the additional information: nationality, ship, railway, total number in party and, others listed. There's also a link to the source site from the Ontario Ministry of Government and Consumer Services. That was last updated on 1 January 2000.

It's good to see that immigration records are being added.
However, I did not have any direct ancestors come to Canada during this time period. My mother's direct ancestors came before and my father's parents came after this time period.
