American Denied Entry


An American on a bicycle riding to Winnipeg was among 42 people prevented from entering Canada at the Fort Frances point of entry last month.

The Canada Border Services Agency says the man was denied entry after it was revealed he had criminal convictions in at least ten different States.

In another case, a man from Texas who wanted to move to Fort Frances was denied entry when he declared his main source of income was from playing on-line poker.

The man unable to prove he had funds to support himself or that he had employment or a home in the United States.

A total of 96-thousand people passed through the border in September.
