According to an official at the High
Commission of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka in
Ottawa, under the Pensions Act of Sri Lanka, a government or
government agency employee must complete ten years of service in
the government before he or she is eligible for pension benefits (1
Feb. 1995). The same official stated that the law does not require
that a government or government agency employee reach a minimum age
before they can apply (ibid.). The DIRB is unable to corroborate
this information at the present time.
This response was prepared after
researching publicly accessible information currently available to
the DIRB within time constraints. This response is not, and does
not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular
claim to refugee status or asylum.
