There's no exact time and not every employer gets verified. Some employers get a call, others don't.

From what I've seen so far - it's pretty rare that they actually call your employer for any confirmation. If CIC feels there are doubts, they'd just reject the application instead of taking the time to call. Though that may sound unfair, but that seems to be the case. So - don't leave them with doubts would be my advice!

"Good morning, CIC speaking, just calling to check that you guys really exist?" 8)

Seriously though, the information you provided in the application package is probably enough in most cases for them to look into your employer(s) using publicly-available records. So just make sure your employer letter, tax information, etc, stands on its own as evidence of your experience.

I'm not sure about this. Plenty of people on here have received letters that the officer has "serious concerns" with their applications. If your application has been summarily refused, there was probably more than a slight suspicion that your work experience was bogus.

Yeh that what I noiced, most people gets rejected beacuse of number of reasons. I dont think one small reason can get denied, but I could be wrong.

Most of the time they don't call. They just make decision on what you provided to them.

I heavily doubt the responses here, CIC can do anything they want..including calls-visits etc. It's their country so their rules :(

CIC can do whatever they want, but 90% of the time, they don't call employers. So the responses here are very much correct.

I do agree with you, however in a starnge cases they even call employer after medical results received and RFPR paid...there is a case where the applicant mentioned he got rejected just 2 days ago

Consider this from OP 25a (emphasis added):

Offices will be expected to undertake both targeted and random verifications to detect
and deter fraud. The number and percentage of cases subject to verification should be
high enough to act as a meaningful disincentive
to those who would attempt such
practices.

...

Interviews, site visits, and telephone checks have proven to be the most effective ways
to detect and combat fraud. The information gained at interviews where fraud is detected
will help officers to identify current trends and patterns and to refine their profiles for
ongoing use.
