Thomas Partey fails in Canada visa appeal, falsely claimed he wasn’t facing criminal charges (Gift Article)

Ghana player lied (or had lied for him) on his visa application to Canada about pending rape charges against him. Canada denied him entry. The US did not, even though they have the same rules against issuing visas to people charged with serious crimes. www.nytimes.com/athletic/736...

Arsenal would have three titles right now if we'd done the right thing sooner, you don't get the mandate of heaven with Partey in your squad www.nytimes.com/athletic/736...

E o Partey que com *sete* acusações de estupro foi lá e marcou a caixinha no formulário do visto dizendo que não respondia a nenhum processo criminal? Visto canadense negado e tá fora da estréia de Gana na copa www.nytimes.com/athletic/736...

UPDATE: It appears he lied on his visa application. So while not convicted, the false representation is why he was barred, and fair enough. www.nytimes.com/athletic/736...

Lying both on your application and your appeal is a bold strategy... www.nytimes.com/athletic/736...
