Help!? Filling out Online Payment reciept. What do they mean by Client #?

[KtMcrorie]

Hey everyone. I hope this is not a dumb question. I just payed my fees online and I am ready to mail out my visa. I am filling out my receipt and there is a section that says "Client ID" I do not have one yet as far as I know. Can anyone help me out??

Thanks!

I had one, but I think only because I had been issued a student authorization in the past. I'm pretty sure that if you have never had a visa or authorization from CIC, you wouldn't have this number. So I think you can leave it blank or write "N/A". You will get the client number when they begin to process your application.
