Do they track it even if you fly to Vancouver and drive down? I would assume so but i'm not sure.

US Visa Denials
Can be many reasons...but visa applications from countries like India, Thailand, China are routinely denied within 30 seconds of in person interview despite completely documentd including gguarantee of paying for a dead visitor at the sponsor's expense. !!!!! Seems a lot depends on volume am
Nd subjective assessments of the file.
Have heard that your chances for a second bite will improve dramatically if the local US Congress member requests the State Dept to review the app.
And yes, the system now knows you have been denied so does not matter how you enter...

Beside nationality or passport, US DHS also take your country of birth and other long periods living in a country into account on your visa application.

If your passport require that you need a visa to enter USA then it would not help by trying to enter via Canada by land. The same passport is swipe and verified with the same computer database that denied your application.

It is the person's name and bio info that hits in the system. Dual citizens often get caught because they apply for a visa nder one passport, ie: Australian and then apply to enter the US using a UK passport.
Once a person applied for and is denied a visa, they cannot use the visa waiver program. On the ESTA aplicaton, one question is if you applied for and were denied a visa.
Entering from Canada, Mexico ect.. a person will still be inspected with the person's name checked in the TECS system.
Would not try it if were me. Go back to the US embassy to see if you can overcome the denial.
