When we didn't get the police clearance, I told my wife to contact the clearance office. She contacted them, and they said it was with the National Intelligence Bureau. We can't talk directly to the NIB, so my wife contacted a Sri Lankan deputy minister and asked if he could help her in this situation. Then he called the NIB director who said I had gone to Canada and talked to the National Post. He asked why I had talked to them and said I had to go to the Sri Lankan consulate in Toronto and give a statement because my statement was all false. After I did that, they would give me a police clearance and my wife may then leave Sri Lanka.
The pre-clearance has been requested by the Canadian high commission. Normally they ask for a police clearance for any sponsor. If it's a tourist visa, she can come any time, but because there's a sponsor she has to get police clearance. That's normal procedure, but the NIB is refusing.
Yesterday I called the consulate in Toronto and told them what the situation was. He said they cannot do that and asked who told me this. I said that the NIB was telling my wife this and that the minister had mentioned it, and so what do you want me to do? He told me to come back next week. That is the situation.
