Yes, it was the car that caused him to be denied entry but he had no opportunity to abandon the car on the Canadian side, he was told to return to the US side. When he did, he told the US that he’d leave it with them and get the paperwork done later. They said nope, take the car somewhere else as it’s not their problem.
So, the car or the guy or both got denied entry but the bottom line was he wasn’t getting into Canada that day with that car.

The "friend" who was a Canadian citizen cannot be denied entry. He was turned around because his CAR being imported was denied entry.
If he wanted to, he could have entered Canada, but the car couldn't, so he would have had to abandon it or take it back to the USA.
Addition: I see this falsehood was addressed already...
No falsehood, just gave his version of the story but you could have seen that before you posted the “falsehood” tripe…
This is extremely common unfortunately. Training is lacking in that organization. Its difficult because the agents are doing what they know. Which many times is incorrect. Inconsistencies on the agents reports are frequent. Even to the point where the supervisor will say "he was not detained" but in the same breath describe why the person was not allowed to leave (not enter into canada and not allowed to return to the USA)....for several hours.... kind of fits the "detained" definition...
Good description of them, there’s more buffoons in that organization than one realizes. My friends daughter was taking a law and order course at the local community college and got a summer job with CBSA at the Thousands Islands bridge and she was shocked at the level of stupidity she saw daily. She said there were some normal people there but they were outnumbered by the clowns. Her thoughts about a career with them came to an abrupt halt after that summer.
Yeah....its too bad for that.... if only the organization (CBSA) would put more effort and funds into training the agents (a union).
The relationship between the organization and the union is not great.
Causing many issues that the public has to be subjected to.
Its not just agents. We were denied entry to Canada by the Port Commander, who also admitted that his agent was wrong.
As a Canadian citizen leaving the country and returning you need to know your rights.
Stead fast, if you’re a citizen with your feet on our soil or floating in our waters you cannot be denied.
Well I had a Port Commander say to my face that he was denying me and my friend entry into the country ... while we were standing inside the country.
Lol, Pretty easy for you to say that considering you weren’t even there but to suggest someone should ask to be arrested to make the agent look bad is more than a bit ridiculous.
Good story though…Pretty much whatever they want....

Well, we just went back into the US and then drove over to the next crossing where we had no troubles at all. Seemed a lot simpler than getting arrested.
law 101 for any peace officer where of course cbsa officers should be trained the right way but seems not.

As mentioned here previously, status Indians, citizens and permanent residents have right of entry. CBSA cannot deny you entry but can detain or arrest if reasons exist (outstanding warrants, you have been caught smuggling, committing a crim code offense, etc). CBSA can deny entry to your goods though. If you chose to return to the US with said goods, that's on you, you are not being denied entry.
Interesting discussion. Many years ago we were harassed by the CBS. Or clowns as they are referred to in my family because of their utter stupidity.
Many years ago we were crossing back into Canada. One of us (one of the kids i believe) had a long form birth certificate. Agent asked what's this?, my wife said Long form birth certificate. The retard started arguing that it wasn't and he didn't know what it was. He was going on and on. My wife interrupted him mid sentence and said, let me know when you figure it out and rolled up her car window. A few minutes pass, a supervisor comes out, there is a short 30 second discussion, supervisor steps up to my wife's window which she rolled down. She then asks if he educated the retard, he chuckles, apologizes and says have a nice day, you can go.
So, no, they sometimes don't know what they are talking about and you need to stand your ground.
