there are many ways they confirm that....
first of all, cic has designated "third party" for verification
however, verification is NOT conducted for everyone.
only when visa officer finds the case fishy, it is initiated.
now,
1. they can do by searching on the web about you and ur company
2. call you or ur employer for it
3. directly visit the work etc etc....
so, there is not a definative answer, iit's case specific....
hope it helped...
good luck...
[Hello KS08,
Thanks for this useful information.
Can u please let us know how they communicate with the employers I.e. calling on mobiles number or the landline numbers. The reason for asking this question is that the landline number mentioned on the letter head are not working now. I had also mentioned mobiles numbers of my HR and Manager whom I am reporting.
What types of questions do the generally asked from employers.
Thanks
