I've known people to be denied entry because they carried over $10,000 with no relevant documents. And people who traveled with less than $20 for a declared visit longer than 24 hours. More recently the Canadians at border crossings are authorized to use lethal force to halt traffic that refuses to stop as directed.

People with criminal records and those with undesirable backgrounds.

Anything that is equivalent to a felony in Canada (they don't use the terms felony and misdemeanor). A DUI in the US is a misdemeanor but will keep you out of Canada. Likewise a minor marijuana possession in Canada (equivalent of a misdemeanor) keeps you out of the US. Just admitting that you have used marijuana can be grounds to be denied entry into the US.

Apparently a lot of celebrities from the U.S.: They have been saying for years now that if so-and-so (insert the name of the Republican candidate) gets elected they are moving to Canada. None have done it on a permanent basis, to my knowledge, so maybe Canada has the good sense of prohibiting these toadstools from being admitted.
