Default WW2 Cdn Army Repatriation

I was looking into some family history this evening and ran across a possible relative that showed up in a 1946 US Immigration Record. When I checked it, I discovered it was a neatly typed 9 page document titled Canadian Army Military District No. 10 Repatriation Depot. It did not indicate where this depot was located, but the list was dated 04 February 1946. The names on the list were in A - Z order by Surname and included Service Number, Rank and Regiment and home residence, along with a couple of other notations. US Immigration had dated the list 20 February 1946 at the New York City Port of Entry and the ship was Queen Elizabeth.

I had always assumed repatriated Canadian Military personnel came back via a Canadian Port, but it looks like this group at least returned via New York City. No indication if they reboarded the Queen Elizabeth to travel by sea from New York to somewhere in Canada, or went by train from New York to Canada.

Thought I would pass this along in case anyone else was doing similar research.
