it seems most of the people are concerned with how cio can contact their employers to cross check them that they have provided authentic and reliable information about themselves.
what I understand is...cio really don't cross check all the applicants..infact they don't have that much time to call on the numbers from around the world having different time zones to check about whether the person really worked there or not, whether his/her duties/responsibilities were the same that are required and other info, sometimes numbers are busy, some times there are network problems going on...and they really don't bother to call or contact again and again until they get any response.....so literary its impossible to check so many applicants within such a small time frame of 3 to 4 months.
In my understandings and what I read on net and from other's experiences........those countries whose citizens are famous for fraudulent activities and are involved in cheating and misleading about themselves....they are get checked thoroughly. sadly to say most of the Asian, african and middle eastern countries are on top of this list. the cio hardly goes for such a detailed background check for Europeans, Americans and Australians.
but again the majority of applicant are from these top suspicious countries so its again impossible to cross check all of them. now those who apply through a recognized consultant of cic/cio, they normally don't go through such detailed checks cos their consultants themselves take their cases after proper investigating the clients cos they don't want their names to be spoiled and their standing in cic to go down just for 1 2 fraudulent clients.
remaining are all those applicants who belong to these countries and don't hire a consultant for them....normally all of them goes through these detailed check ups. but that doesn't mean that its a guarantee that others are exempted from checking. cio can and do check anyone they want, its their right, but these "especial" applicants are really really very less as compared to the other "normal" applicants.
this is what I understood, what experience users say about it? please share your views so that we the normal applicants can have some idea about this checking thing.
