Background verification and security checks
Hello all,
I recently read a post on this forum where in applicant is banned for 2 years by NDVO on account of negative employer verification and it was a physical verification done by VO/3rd party appointed by VO.
My queries are:
1. Can CIC also do verification (if not physical, maybe online etc.) or verification is only done by VO.
2. Do they do physical verification in extreme cases only where the quotient of doubt is high or is it common.
3. I have given business card of my manager and letter heads also provide his number as he happens to be the MD of company as well, will verification call go to manager's mobile or it can also be done on landline.
And lastly any suggestions would be highly appreciated to avoid negative verification.
Thanks guys.
P.S. I read another post saying to sync your social media profile @ FB, linkedin etc as verification can be done on social media sites too. Beware friends make changes accordingly if required.
1. verification is done by VO, cio just checks the completeness of application.
2. physical verification is very very rare, only in those countries where VO is located or yes as u said in high doubt cases. as u mentioned about NDVO, ndvo can do physical verification in india only and that also in some places cos they have to process so many apps, they just cant go all over india and visit each and every place. if your all docs are fine and upto date and authentic then they don't even call for verification. but usually they drop an email, calling is also very less but for ndvo, as its a same country, they can call also on company telephone or on mobile.
for other VOs, I haven't heard of any physical visit, like for applicants of middle east and Pakistan, LVO don't do physical visits, nor do they ask their reps in those countries to check.
I believe they see about ur other docs first, like educational assessment reports, bank statements, family history and family docs, your own personal info, police records.......if they see anything doubtful then they do physical visit that also if its the same country, otherwise its very very rare.
they do contact on emails or on mobile.......but its also optional, not necessary, I know atleast 12 people who immigrated to Canada and none of their employers were even contacted on email! so it all depends.
3. already answered in 2nd point.
good luck and don't worry, just relax.
PS: I operate social websites with different name and email ids, also I haven't provided any info what so ever on social media, so technically no one can trace me, and if traced no one can find any info in my profiles
