    Title sux. He was not "denied entry to play online poker" He has been delayed entry until he squares his work visa which is about any old job and has nothing to do with poker.

    When it's time to move to another country...declaring yourself to be an artist is complimentary to the new country and doesn't raise any red flags.

    Yet here you are. Also, this info hit Twitter on Thursday. The article was posted less than 24 hours later.

    A bunch of U.S. poker players should hire a boat and sail into Canadian waters. Claim to be refuges and being denied the right to earn a living. Canada doesn't stop Tamil tigers from coming in this way, so should work for the poker players.

    I believe your attempt at correcting him is incorrect. He did not qualify his statement. He could have been permanently or temporarily denied. He did not specify.
