November border stats and stories

The Pigeon River border continues to be an entry point for many immigrants hoping to come to Canada.   The November statistics show that the Canadian Border Services Agency conducted just over 100 immigration examinations. Out of those 2 people were refused entry because of a criminal background and other issues.  20 were issued immigration documents.  The same agency report shows a couple of Canadian gun collectors failed to declare a antique flintlock rifle when coming into Canada.   The travellers claimed to have only been away from the country for 1 day and made a 10 dollar purchase.
