Default Re: Advice for entering Canada

Bottom line:

If you are going to Canada to cover a poker tournament for a website, you will need to apply specifically for a "media visa" long before you attempt to enter Canada, even if the media company were not based in Canada.

Canada is very protective of its media and entertainment industries, to the point where NAFTA specifically excludes "culture" from being subject to free trade.

Most people associated with poker will try to sneak through by telling the immigration official that he/she is "on vacation".
