Any idea why PowerSchool is not adding all students to Canvas?

I recently took over  as Canvas Admin. Good news is that more teachers are starting to jump onboard with Canvas. The bad news is that I am getting bombed with a lot of students who are not in Canvas. I thought these were simply transfer students from other schools, but I am noticing students who have been in district for years also being effected. 

I was taught to manually add these student to Canvas, but I now see that If I add them manually, their grades will not push over. I was told that PowerSchool should automatically create these accounts. Any ideas why this is not happening  for some students?

Thanks for the help. It looks like 92 students did not have email addresses in PowerSchool. I believe this could be the culprit.  I appreciate any and all suggestions offered. You have all been super helpful. This community is one of the offerings that has made me love Canvas.
