    Thanks - my thoughts exactly! I just send a note with the corrected UCI, don't think it would make any difference but the two posters above worried me, hence I thought it's better to cover all bases.

    Mistake while filling out Schedule A - advise needed

    Thanks everyone. I truly don't think it is/could be much of an issue and whoever is looking at the application would realise and dismiss it/correct it accordingly and if they do have an issue, I suppose the worst that could happen is resend the form for me to put my UCI rather than my partner's...

    Linking our common law application to an online account?

    Thanks so much! The website is definitely very finicky! Just to check again, when we paid the Application fee we were given a receipt number.

    Help needed!

    Thank you! That is a really good point, I guess we will brace ourselves and hope for the best. One more question. Did your SO have to obtain a medical exam at all? The CIC seems to allude that not everyone is required to have it and we would be given that information at a later point.
