Has applied to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada before

[MahsaRB]

Hi,
I applied for Quebec skill worker program last year, my application was between those 17,000 applications which were stopped. I never received any answer so far form my Quebec application and now I am applying for EE. Do I have to mark yest to the question ''Has...... applied to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada before''?
Please advise.
Thank you in advance.

Yes, you have to mention it and specify Quebec in the LOE

I don’t think so u have to answer it yes . Because u got no application no /uci nothing . And y to complicate loe. Rest wait what other seniors have to say . It s just my opinion on reading other forums here

Does holding a Canadian Tourist visa mean that I have to select yes for Has applied to IRCC before ?

Thank you for the answer.
But, I only have application number and no UCI to complete the form.

Yes. Since you have a TRV, you will have a UCI number assigned.

Thank you for confirming, do you which would correlate to UCI #, I don't see anything specific printed on visa stamp indicating UCI #,. would it be Document No

The visa counterfoil in your passport does list the UCI number but it isn't annotated as such.
It is the last number, in the line next to 'C.Rec' code (usually directly beneath the 'Person(s)' listing) and should be 10 digits.

Thank you! I do see that number, total count of digits is 8 (I had gotten it in 2015), would this be concerning issue going forward ?

My UCI is 8 digits as well (2009) and I’ve used it for a variety of things without any problem.

1. Select Yes to this question.

2. Then Select NO to question - Has Mr. XYZ applied for Express Entry before?

3. Number mentioned (below the passport number) on your canada visa is your UCI number. Mention that.

Hey,
So i had a different GC key when i applied for my study and work permit.

I created an express entry profile with a new GC key, should i use my old UCI code for any question that might as for it?
