Q. How can I know the status of my application?
A. In reality you can’t. But if you have sent your application 8 ~ 10 weeks ago, then you can email at cio-sydney-search-enquiry[at]cic.gc.ca to get the status of your application. You will have to send them your Last name, First name, Date of Birth, Country of Birth in order to get the notification. You will receive a reply by email within 20 working days.

If you don't have a UCI and want to obtain it :
When it asks you to enter UCI number just be on hold n let it say it 3 times then the call is automatically transferred to an agent
Agent will ask information about last name, first name, date of birth, application received date, email id etc.
If you already have a UCI and want to check the status:
In last IVR system ask you to enter your UCI
Once you enter your UCI,
If system directs you directly to agent without any announcement it's means your payment is not Encashed yet
If after entering your UCI, you listen the announcement like ” your application has received on xxx day” it's means you have been charged now wait for the PER
