No. About 60-70% FSW Outland files from India are transferred to Ottawa Visa Office, only the remaining 30-40% files are sent to NDVO. This a random transfer and anyone can be transferred to either office. Chances of being transferred to NDVO increase for files with previous refusals, otherwise its random. People make the mistake of assuming that if they are from India then their file will be at NDVO only. This is wrong, CIC can send files to different Visa Offices especially Ottawa (for Indians) for load sharing.
The accurate way to know your visa office for sure is either by calling them and asking, e-mailing them to ask or via GCMS.
P.S- This was a very good question, many people still remain unaware of this and wrongly assume NDVO as their Visa Office and misinformation is spread. Its good to ask always and as many wise people have said, no question is a stupid one
