I did my biometrics right after I submitted my application (paper based). I did not get a biometrics confirmation email but in my account it shows the date my biometrics is completed and the validity.

what should be the next step, background check shows in progress

May I ask where you located? I heard biometrics need collected right after medical complete? wondering if I can do that ahead of schedule. thx

I’m located in the Philippines. I applied for SOWP. I did upfront medical. When I passed my documents for application, I also did the biometrics the same day.

Ok, your post is about SOWP but this thread is for Express Entry!

same question here, any way we can speed up in this process....

I went to the VAC near my house and was able to give the biometric. They are ok to let you in as long as you have an appointment and since they had bandwidth they let me complete my biometrics now

Thanks and all the best

Yet to do biometrics

Hello. I submitted my application in February. However I got a message requesting to fill the schedule A/background declaration form and I’m a bit worried. Also, I’ve been seeing different versions of the form. I assume I’m supposed to fill the latest (06-2019) form but it doesn’t have validation option.

Application Number v. UCI

Application Number

An application number, as the name suggests is assigned to each application an applicant files with IRCC. Every application, even when filed by the same applicant, will have a different number and will be categorized by the type of application filed by the applicant. An application number starts with an alphabet followed by digits eg: E12345678. The alphabet signifies the type of application.

Permanent Residency – E12345678

Student Visa – S12345678

Work Permit – W12345678

Visitor’s visa – V12345678

UCI Number

UCI – “Unique Client Identifier” is a numeric reference which is unique to a client. It is assigned by Immigration Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) an applicant whose case is being processed. Each client is given a different UCI. The UCI number remains the same, even when you file multiple applications with IRCC. If you have previously applied for a tourist visa, you have already been issued a UCI number. Similarly, if you applied for a student visa, you were assigned a UCI, and when you subsequently apply for a Permanent Residency, the UCI will remain the same.

UCI consists of digits only, usually there are eight or ten digits which may or may not be separated by a hyphen, eg: 1234-5678 or 11-1234-5678.

The UCI differs from an application number in the context that an applicant can have multiple applications, each having a different application number, UCI number. Thus, UCI is client specific and not application specific.

After your submit your application, and if you have never been assigned a UCI number before, you will see a temporary UCI number starting with CAN123456. This is change to the above format after a UCI number is allocated to you.

I have a query, my UCI number was CAN0000***** during e-APR and was changed to 12345678 after my MEP and BIL. Is it common ?

If you already have Canada Visa, then your UCI number is same as previous one.
