Just an idea Barry;
Is it possible that perhaps as being dubbed an "essential worker" he was listed in provincial or local files and was turned away?
I am thinking that back in the days when communications were slow or lacking that he may have headed west and perhaps fibbed on his application in order to be accepted in???
A copy of his service records may shed some light on it.
