High-level corruption in immigration department of Canada.

For Brian McAdam, Canadian diplomat, it wasn’t that he had uncovered the lucrative sale of Canadian visas when he was posted at the Honk Kong consulate of Canada.

He says that the Canadians as well as the Chinese consular staff were selling visas to members of the Chinese mafia and intelligence service of Communist China. He heard that he price somewhere in between $10,000 to $100,000 per visa.

It wasn’t that the reports that he sent to his seniors in Canada were taken lightly or destroyed. Nor was it that he received calls during his stint in Hong Kong from 1989-1993, that threatened him to stop all he was doing or he would be killed. But what actually broke him down, he says, is the feeling of betrayal from his colleagues, with whom he had worked for so many years. He says that the feeling goes to his soul and it is a psychological breakdown.

Mr. McAdam said that once a Triad member had phoned someone in the Canadian immigration minister’s office in Ottawa. What shocked Mr. McAdam was the fact that the officer commented that not to worry about Mr. McAdam and whatever he was doing as they will take care of him.

And that’s what they did, said Mr. McAdam. Immigration Canada offered him a nice job in Ottawa. He found that his exclusion was complete and his thirty year career in Asia, the Caribbean and Europe was over. For him everything was almost over.

Everything was crystal clear in front of him and he couldn’t take it. He was down, both physically and mentally. After two years of medical leave, sleeping twenty hours every day, he says that he finally did that everyone around him wanted, though unwillingly. At the age of 51, in 1993, he took early retirement.

Left jobless, he said that he is feeling free of a terrible group of people.

He writes in his 850-page manuscript The Dragon Deception, that he was mocked, humiliated and threatened in a hostile environment, dealing with some of the most ruthless criminals of the world. He received death threats for many years but no one was there who was even a bit concerned about his safety, he writes. However, the question that was most important was: Why were the Canadian diplomats in Hong Kong and bureaucrats in Ottawa prepared to do anything to destroy his work and his life?
