Does CIC verify 'job offers' for Outland Sponsorship from overseas?

Forum, does anyone know if CIC calls 'job offers' in Canada when you are applying to do an Outland Sponsorship from overseas?
thanks

Yes

If you are confident with your answer that they do verify job offers then do you know if a job offer of mine (which is genuine) to be a nanny in Canada for a family with 4 kids (1 in Kindergarten) where I could care for my own daughter at the same time would be considered legitimate and substantial by CIC to show re-establishment in Canada for an Outland Sponsorship done from overseas?
thanks

I don't know about BCguy, but I think that if they called to verify that you had been offered that job, it would definitely be "substantial" enough to show your intent to re-establish your residence in Canada. I don't see anything about it that should raise questions about "legitimacy".

Well, this is the first kind of good news I've had in a long time. I seem completely unable to get 'job offers' where I'm from in Canada as everyone I know is a civil servant or such. I don't know anyone who is in Human Resources and it is extremely difficult to get a 'job offer' when you don't know exactly when and if your spouse will get PR and when and if I will be actually arriving in Canada. Do I actually have to go through with the legitimate nanny 'job offer'? Or once we actually get here I can get to work finding a better paying job??

Once your husband gets PR, you can do whatever you want. If you get a better job than being a nanny, nobody will make you work as a nanny.
