Hi.
Gershon Koffie is not eligible for Canada. He's considered cap-tied because he played for Ghana in an 'official competition' (the African Youth Championship is considered official because it's organised by CAF) before obtaining Canadian citizenship. If he had Canadian citizenship at the time he played in the competition, he'd be eligible to play for Canada but as he didn't, he isn't. TheBigJagielka ( talk) 10:58, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
If a Player has more than one nationality, or if a Player acquires a new nationality, or if a Player is eligible to play for several representative teams due to nationality, he may, only once, request to change the Association for which he is eligible to play international matches to the Association of another Country of which he holds nationality, subject to the following conditions:
a) He has not played a match (either in full or in part) in an Official Competition at “A” international level for his current Association, and at the time of his first full or partial appearance in an international match in an Official Competition for his current Association, he already had the nationality of the representative team for which he wishes to play.

Definitions:
He didn't have Canadian citizenship/residency when he played for Ghana in the African Youth Championship in 2011 (deemed an 'official competition' as it was organised by CAF, the age restriction is irrelevant) and so is considered ineligible. TheBigJagielka ( talk) 20:47, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
