no. MY Client ID is only 8 digits; this is the ID that I use to sign in with on CIC to check status of the application - there are no alpha characters in my client ID.
my WIFES client ID starts with F and has 9 digits afterwards ex. F123456789.
i want to know what this id starting with B and has 9 digits afterwards is for... ex. B123456789
FYI...
According to page on CIC website. Client ID and Immigration File Number is defined as:
Client ID Number
You will find this number on official documents issued to you from a Citizenship and Immigration Canada office, Case Processing Centre or visa office where you submitted your application. Your "Client ID Number" has four numbers, a dash (-), and four more numbers. (Example: 0000-0000).
Immigration File Number
You will find this number on any official document issued to you from the visa office where you submitted your application. Your "Immigration File Number" starts with the letter "F or B", and is followed by nine numbers. (Example: F/B000000000).
So what you are mentioning is Immigration File Number not the client ID.
have tried this with my spouse Immigration File Number ( as I am sponsoring her ) - And it states:

To me it seems like the sponsored person can not use his immigration and his/her own info to check the status... Only the sponsor can do it with his/her Client ID.
Hopefully new year will be mubarik for you! Inshaa'Allah!
