The AP reports:

Nicole Perna, a spokeswoman for Brown, confirmed Canadian immigration officials denied him entry. Perna said Brown can apply to return at a later date and plans to do so. Live Nation, the promoter, said in a statement that “due to immigration issues” the shows have been canceled and refunds are available at the point of purchase.

Canada Border Services refused to comment on Brown’s situation, but a spokesperson did acknowledge an individual’s criminal past can be a factor in determining if a person is allowed entry into the country.

CB has faced several run ins with the law including assaulting then girlfriend Rihanna and an alleged attack against a man in Washington, DC. Brown’s current tour with Trey Songz was also postponed due to Chris not completing his community service hours.
