Friend,
I really appreciate your sincerity towards the members of this forum and sharing us about your experience just like in one family. This became very informative for many waiting for MR. Yes, your consultant is registered in Vancouver. We checked and understood that. But their Indian centers are not under the direct control of the registered member and some discrepancy can happen due to agency problem. Just be beware if they ask you some money for smooth moving of the process. I made an analysis for you,
Based on the data from the forum and CIC
Total NOC Charged in the forum= 465
Total members received AOR after charging NOC (Out of 465)= 71
Percentage of AOR against NOC charged in the forum= 71/465 x 100 =15.2%
So from this 15% of applicants are susceptible to get any kind of bg checks.....
Total Number of CIC NOC charged= 3160
if we convert the CIC NOC charged to AOR based of the data from the spreadsheet= 3160 x 15.2%= 482.4
Now based on the information you got from the consultant they already checked some applicants before they coming to do bg for you. Lets take this number as 2. Then they checked yours and going to check some more from Chennai and Kerala it also can be assumed as 2. So total 5 members from this particular consultancy undergone background check.
In percentage out of the total 482 applicants all over the world registered got background checking just from your consultant is= 5/482= 1%
There are over 2500 registered consultant all around this world. More over a large mass applying directly and through immigration lawyers lets assume this as 50% of the world fsw applicants.
Your consultant is having wings in India only in Kerala and Tamilnadu. You may be aware these two states contributes less than 5-10% of Indian fswp applicants (Indian fswp13 spreadsheet available in the forum). 90-95% of applicants are from other states especially from Hyderabad, Punjab, Gujarat, etc.
From this its clear the 1% world's applicants have undergone bg checking just from that consultancy. This seems to be really impossible in-comparison with others.
So i think NDVO is targeting just that consultant for background verification. Because none of the others have reported in this forum yet. That consultant may be right. But I just doubt them as because they were giving you exactly the information as like from NDVO office. Those things are highly confidential and not even a registered consultant has access on these.
