Canadian Passenger lists

Would like details on a Michael Morris arriving Quebec in 1920, if it's possible I would be really grateful if a copy of the list could be emailed to me.

There is a Michael Morris, 37, born Ireland on the Canada which arrived in Quebec on 20 Sep 1920. The passenger list indicates he was going to Wisconsin. Here's a link to the image at Library and Archives Canada (line 8):

There is a border crossing document showing a Michael Charles Morris crossing the border into the US on 20 Sep 1920. His occupation is listed as priest and his father was Edward Morris, Carrickmaguirk, Moyne-Arva, Ireland. It also indicates he was born in Carrickmaguirk. His final destination was Calamine, Wisconsin. As well, the passenger lists indicates he had previously been in the US (in Wisconsin) from 1906 - 1920.

Thank you very much Jacquie, I was hoping that would be my Michael as there is no other record of him, it isn't but thank you for helping me rule that list out.
I asked to see the image as I thought they'd have the home town on it but it doesn't, is that usual for Canadian passenger lists?

Ok, I've done a bit of reading and this is what I'm understanding now - For those entering Canada with their final destination being the U.S. between 1921-1924 there are no passenger list records only border crossing records. Is that right?

I just found him coming through New York, I'm sure I must have viewed it before but didn't make the connection (as the relative he had listed changed their surname), so he came through New York and for whatever reason went to Canada for a while before the 1920 U.S. census and then returned.
