Waht is the definition of fair? All the media talk about is ebola in West Africa. We all know how porous borders are in africa. We all know of endemic, attitudinal bahviours of corruption concerning passport acquisitions. U can pay bribed for a gh passport. U call urself a sensible minister but u failed to consider the reasons why Canadian embassy is doing this. U want them to tell you this feeling, feely? Nigga, can't you read between the lines? U can have naija, guinea, Liberia and sierra Leone ppl come to gh and pay for gh passports, and apply as gh citizens to.Go to the tournament. With the intention to stay. Look at what happened in brasil and now Glasgow. Ayariga, have you moved shame? Yet, u wasted ur time writing a letter to Canadian embassy? So canada should be fair to satisfy you? Invite diseases to their country only to satisfy Ghana? Unare not serious!

CANADIAN HIGH COMMISSION SHOULD REJECT ALL THE SUPPORTERS AND OFFICIALS WHO HAVE APPLIED FOR VISAS TO TRAVEL TO CANANDA. IN FACT THEY ARE ALL NDC MEMBERS WHO WANT TO MOVE AND STAY PERMANENTLY IN CANADA. THE TEAM DOES NOT NEED ANY SUPPORTERS IN ORDER TO WIN. LOOK AT THE BRAZIL TEAM FOR EXAMPLE, THEY HAD MORE SUPPORTERS THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY DURING THE WORLD CUP, HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT QUALIFY FOR THE FINAL MATCH. THE NEED FOR SUPPORTERS TO TRAVEL TO CANANDA IS QUESTIONABLE. NO VISAS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THEM, DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF GHANA. REJECT THEM ALL.

I think Kozi hit the nail right on the head. Those sent by gov't to Brazil did not return and I am shocked to see the Minister sticking out his neck for another batch.

There are more than enough Ghanaians in Canada, and especially in Toronto to support the team. The Canadian High Commissioner should not even allow the gates to the compound be opened for this clueless Minister. I will sue for all my tax money I have paid over the years if they grant these brainless NDC foolsoldiers any visa. Even puting a visa denial stamp in their passports will still cost Canada ink money. Don't even entertain their application.

The min of sports and gfa should allocate 300 tickets to all gh who showed up to the stadium in Toronto wearing gh jersey or shirt with a ghflag. If any gh fan shows up to the stadium tomorrow in a gh jersey or shirt with a ghflag. They get a free ticket to go and support the black princess. Put this on Ghweb and you will see how many ghppl will show up in their numbers to support the team. Stop this disgrace of protesting infront of the Canadian embassy in accra.

Why is the minesterial position brought low by inexperienced people. Canadian officals re not as stupid to believe people will spend their life savings to cheer the princesses.

i paid $6,ooo to the organizers of the games for the visa as requested of me. Thank you Canadian Embassy. The organizers are asking us to go out for demonstration,blaming the Canadian High Commission as the ones who are not honoring their part of the deal. Woa, Government must help us to retriev our monies from these 419 organizers. Every one of us paid the said amount to the organizers. We need help.

How do you know the organizers even sent the money to the High Commission and didn't chop it all at Movenpick? Study them well and you'll see.

I wonder if the Sports Minister sincerely believes that there are many Ghanaian football enthusiasts who will spend all that money just to travel to Canada to watch UNDER-20 WOMEN'S WORLD CUP. Let him tell the world how many Ghanaians he thinks would travel from Kumasi to watch a Women's World Cup in Accra. And even if the Canadians are fools don't they know what happened to our people in Brazil?

It's funny the minister is appealing for visa for prospective asylum seekers. Isn't this a shame as well? What's the government doing about those so called supporters who refused to return from Brazil. You think the Canadaian consule officer is deaf and blind or illiterate that he does not know what's going on in the world. Bilahi Walahi Talahi these Ghanaians seeking for visa will never return after the games. Lets face the facts.

in Ghana government they'll consider this as a blessing. Here is an idea. Rather than transport and house all these people(supporters/fans) why don't you send two organizers to Canada to recruit Ghanaians already in Canada, give them the schedule so they can meet and bus them to the stadia? It is much cheaper and less confusing. Besides you don't have to worry about people seeking asylum after the games. This is easy. There are enough event planners here to do this job.
