GHANA'S GOVT HAS PROTESTED TO THEIR CANADIAN COUNTERPARTS CONCERNING THE DENIAL OF BLACK STARS PLAYER THOMAS PARTEY ENTRY VISA.(PHOTO).



Ghana protests Partey's treatment...tells Canada their player has not been found guilty of rape 


Ghana's government has protested to their Canadian counterparts concerning the denial of Black Stars player Thomas Partey entry visa.

The Black Stars are scheduled to square up against Panama in their opening game of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Toronto on Wednesday, but according to the Canadian immigration Partey was "inadmissible" due to his on going trial on rape charges in a London court. 

But according to the Ghanaian government Partey has not been convicted of any crime. 

"The Government of the Republic of Ghana expresses strong reservations following the high-handed and extremely unfair decision by Canada to refuse a temporary residence application for Mr. Thomas Teye Partey, a Ghanaian national and key member of Ghana’s senior national football team, the Black Stars, which is participating in the 2026 FIFA World Cup,’the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

"We are informed that the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) arrived at this outcome on grounds of inadmissibility under paragraph A36(1)(c) of Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).

"The decision is understood to be based on pending criminal proceedings in the United Kingdom that have not resulted in any conviction or judicial finding of guilt.

"The Government of Ghana reaffirms the fundamental legal principle of the presumption of innocence, a cornerstone of justice and due process in democratic societies.

"While respecting Canada’s sovereign right to enforce its immigration laws, Ghana considers that reliance on unproven charges in the absence of a judicial determination raises fundamental questions of fairness and proportionality."

The government added it has already held talks with Canadian officials over the ban and might even consider seeking a judicial review before the Federal Court of Canada to reverse the ban.
