What is a UCI?
UCI stands for “unique client identifier.” It is also known as a client identification number (client ID). It appears on official documents you get from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). It has four numbers, a hyphen and four more numbers. (Example: 0000-0000).
If you are applying to CIC for the first time, you will not yet have a UCI. If so, and you are filling out a form that asks for one, write “Not Applicable” or “N/A” in the space provided.

Visa offices in the U.S.A. have responsibility for applicants who have lawfully been admitted to the U.S.A. or Canada. R11(2) continues to be very flexible. For example, the business person from India spending a day or two in the U.K. will be able to apply for a temporary resident visa in London, as long as they were lawfully admitted to the U.K. Similarly, a Chinese student currently studying in Singapore will be able to apply for a study permit at the visa office there. However, it will not permit a Brazilian national who is physically in Brazil to make a temporary work permit application by mail to the visa office in New York City.
How can I check the status of my immigration application?
It depends on the type of application.
Temporary residence applications (work permit, study permit or visitor record)
Temporary residence applications are processed quickly – generally in less than 40 days depending on the application type - so, it is not possible to confirm the status of your application online. However, you can check the application processing times to get an idea how long it might take to process your type of application.
