a UCI means "unique client identifier". if you have never submitted an application of any kind to CIC, you do not have one. it is fine leaving it blank. you will receive one when your application starts processing.

UCI is unique client identifier. It concerns only permanent residents, it's their actual PR card number.
Applicant will have his own when the file is process by CIC.

A UCI is not just for PRs. Every person that submits an app to Canada, whether it be a visitor, study, work or PR app, receives a UCI. Even Canadian citizen sponsors receive their own UCI when they apply to sponsor their partners.

So just to confirm, my Canadian common law husband who will sponsor me can just leave the UCI field blank for himself on his forms? (he was born here, not naturalized or anything like that, through and through Canadian and never had any dealings with CIC).

If you don't have one, or if you do, but don't know it, then just leave it blank.
