Had hoped that the Military record Ginny found would give his arrival into Canada date, but unfortunately not.

It does give a dob of 29 Apr 1888 in Cockfield, England.

On a tree on Ancestry (Lee Hopkins family tree), there is a resident date of 1916 for Hamilton Ontario, with the note
*In a report on his brothers death in WW1 his address along with twins Fredrick and John was in Canada *

So it might be worth searching the CWGC site for relevant Hopkins deaths, or WW1 UK military records.

That tree does not have any passenger lists attached.
