@tryan6 Because border crossings between Canada and New York were not routinely documented before 1895, record collections are sparse. The Canadian government also did not routinely collect information on immigrants traveling on to America. Thus, thousands crossed the border without documentation.

This is scholarly, though it may not focus much on border crossings.
Jenkins, William. "Social and geographical mobility among the Irish in Canada and the United States: a comparative study of Toronto, Ontario, and Buffalo, New York, 1880-1910."
