Minister of Foreign Employment, Thalatha Atukorala states that there is no Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) regarding foreign employment between Canada and Sri Lanka.

 

The Minister stated that a female had been arrested by the investigation division of the Foreign Employment Bureau, over an alleged extortion scheme where the suspect made false promises to provide employment in Canada.

 

The suspect had allegedly extorted Rs. 400,000 from each victim.

 

Thalatha Atikorala accordingly confirmed that no agreement had been signed between Canada and Sri Lanka in this regard, and urged the public to not fall victim to such schemes.
