       On August 2nd, 1969, this unidentified man, who appears to be
       approximately 18 to 25 years of age and may have Hispanic roots
       or origins, left from New York City by Napierville Junction RR
       train no. 9 and arrived in Canada at Montreal, Quebec. Prior to
       leaving New York, he had reported to the draft board on Broadway
       and 52nd and they had directed him to report to Fort Dix, New
       Jersey. That is when he decided to flee to Canada. On August
       5th, 1969, he attempted to return to the U.S. when the U.S.
       Immigration at Champlain, New York State refused him re-entry
       because he was unable to convince him he was born and raised in
       New York City. He claims he was born at home with birth never
       registered with the state. Sent back to Canada, he subsequently
       settled in the Toronto, Ontario, Canada area and has remained
       since while attempts to verify / establish his true identity and
       verify his New York City birthplace continue. We know this
       subject was present in New York City for many years well
       documented from at least 1960 to 1969, and claims he was born in
       Manhattan where he spent his youth. Prior to leaving New York,
       he claims he spent a lot of time in the area of 3rd Avenue and
       47th or 48th Street and may have attended the Greek Orthodox
       Church on 24th street between 8th and 9th Avenues. We have very
       strong reason to believe he had and likely still has family in
       the U.S. and possibly in the New York City area where he claimed
       to have lived with his parents and sibling(s) prior to August
       1969. His father may have been a seaman. This Agency is seeking
       the aid of the public in assisting us to positively establish
       his true identity and nationality and locate his family members,
       ideally.

       Circumstances of Discovery
       This unidentified living subject left New York on August 2, 1969
       on a train to Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
       He attempted to return to the United States on August 5, but was
       denied re-entry due to the fact that he was unable to verify he
       was born and raised in New York City.
       The young man claimed to have been born in Manhatten, at home,
       and his birth was never recorded with the state. It has been
       verified that he lived in New York City from at least 1960 to
       1969.
       He also stated he grew up in Manhatten and spent a significant
       amount of time 3rd Avenue and 47th or 48th Street. He possibly
       went to the Greek Orthodox Church on 24th street between 8th and
       9th Avenues.
       It is believed he still has family living in the country,
       perhaps still in New York. The man claimed to have lived with
       his parents, his father possibly being a seaman, and one or more
       sibling.
       He has lived in Toronto, Ontario since he was unable to return
       to the United States.

       MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct 19, 2016) - Canada
       Border Services Agency
       Note to editors: There are four photos associated with this
       Press Release.
       The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is requesting the
       public's assistance in identifying an individual currently being
       held under immigration detention. The individual has been found
       inadmissible to Canada and is currently detained under the
       Immigration and Refugee Protection Actas a potential flight risk
       and is unwilling to provide information to his true identity.
       The CBSA investigation indicates that he entered Canada on
       August 2, 1969 at Montréal via the Napierville Junction Rail
       Road train no. 9. The train's departure location was New York
       City and it is believed that the individual could have family in
       New York or the United States. Since his arrival he has claimed
       (and continues to claim) that he migrated to Canada to evade the
       military draft.
       Anyone with information is asked to contact the CBSA at
       905-405-3864 or email us at Ltdunit@cbsa.gc.ca. Any information
