Border Crossing Stats released

A man from Texas who declared his main source of income was from playing on-line poker was among 42 people denied entry into Canada last month at the Fort Frances border.

The Canada Border Services Agency says the man told officers he was moving to Fort Frances.

But when he failed to prove he had funds to support himself or that he had employment or a home in the United States, the individual was turned back.

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