Work verification after approval?

I remember seeing someone’s post on a different platform, that a person claiming to be from Canadian Embassy visited their workplace in back home country to verify their work experience after months of approval of application.

Same thing happened with me. I got a call from my former employer that someone claiming to be from Canadian High Commission visited and knew my name and verified my work experience. Asked questions like duration of my work experience, job duties, if I was paid and salary, etc.

It is very strange that after landing in Canada and after months, this is happening?

I don’t know if it’s linked or not, I also received an email from ircc that I’ve been selected for a Survey (Advanis) about my experience with ircc.

Very confused if all of this is real or what.

Would appreciate people’s insights.

When did you become PR and when did this happen? Were you an inland or outland applicant?

So, they went to your previous workplace this month? If so, something might have triggered from IRCC's end during their quality assurance check. Not sure why they would do this after 7-8 months of approval>
Yeah. It’s very strange. Is it a thing? I’ve never heard something happen like this before. Just saw one similar recent post from someone on a different platform.

Or maybe someone might have reached out to IRCC regarding your application? You have no clue how many toxic people there are who you consider as friends/relatives. However, as long as you have provided everything genuine during your application, you're good!
