Gene you may not be aware of this. Your son was allowed to cross into Canada in order to transit to Alaska. If not for the Alaskan destination, he would not have been allowed in. Because of Covid, borders between our countries are closed in both directions for all but "essential" travel. That specifically means no vacations....no touristy stuff.
There are numerous reports of Americans showing up in some of our Rocky Mountain tourist spots like Banff, who are there on holiday and who have used the "transit to Alaska" as a loophole to get into the country. These are credible reports and people have been contacted by the authorities and been instructed to get out.
I personally think the border should be re-opened. But it is not. And I suspect, given the timing of your posts and your son's travel, that the less than friendly border officials may have had this dodge on their minds when you son showed up. Regardless of his paperwork.
