Quick answer - Is I have no idea. I cannot think of a valid reason but it is government we are talking.
aside but related. The whole border is senseless for both sides here. That is USA and Canada. since 2010 I have had great hassle entering the USA due to one asshole who interrogated me relentlessly at 6 am. I was travelling at the last minute to visit my Father who had suffered a massive heart attack. I booked one way the day before. He put in the system I had a criminal record. I DID NOT I had all the fingerprint checks and background checks done through the RCMP. crossed us customs many times after than but witheld 1/3 of the time. Finally was refused entry and even have a brand new fingerprint check done - SO I went and got a NEXUS pass - Only one US office did all this to me at one pint of entry. I received and informal apology. Now I hear coming our way to Canada they can be huge assholes also
