My grandfather Hugo Enroth went to Canada in 1928. He left Vassor, Kvevlax in early spring and arrived in Halifax via Gotenbung. My father got a letter in 1950 so I know that he had a taxidriving company and a house building company somewhere in Canada. Can somebody tell more about his life.

Where in Canda? The letter should tell you. It sure would help narrow searches.

I found his arrival to Halifax in 1929, but it doesn't give destination.
t appears from the thumbnail that Hugo went to Swastika, Ontario. I googled it.
"If you are looking for Swastika, Ontario, just go north on Highway 11 from North Bay, Ontario to Highway 66. Turn right towards Kirkland lake and look for the sign of good luck".
