How officer validates documents

[bruce1]

Hello there,
An individual contacted me and said, he has applied online for a visitor visa from Iran. Couple of weeks after he gave his biometrics he has received a letter from the officer who is reviewing his application aying, the officer concerns that applicant's bank statement is fraudulent and give him 30 days to reply. If the officer didn't get a reply the applicant will be inadmissible to Canada for 5 year for misrepresentation. My question is how an officer could find out if a bank statement is fraudulent. Do they call banks? even if they do, banks won't disclose any personal information over the phone.

They have their ways of finding out. They obviously don't publish them.

Banks will not be disclosing any personal information by simply stating that a document is fraudulent.
