Hello Calum,
I see that you posted your message a while ago, but I thought I would give this a try anyways.
As you may have already found out (if you are still working on your family tree) the Cillis name is primarily from Pietragalla in the Province of Potenza in southern Italy.If you find a phone book for the town of Pietragalla online, you will see that there are many Cillis, Pafundi and Buchicchio surnames listed.
When I was searching for my Cillis Family years ago, I do remember seeing some family members heading to Canada upon arrival in the U.S.This would have been around 1900- 1910.
Have you checked the Canadian census records or border crossing records for arrival dates into Canada?
