The Unique Client Identifier (UCI)number. This is an eight-figure number assigned to all visa appplicants, immigrants etc., Not to worry if you cant find it, CIC will locate it based on your name, date and place of birth and other biodata. Sometimes though, it is possible to locate the number if you fish out your visitor's visa or any other visa issued by CIC
 
Re: INLAND APPLICATIONS 2012 - imm008 - immigration office

Hi all,

I am in the midst of filling out the IMM0008 form and under application details number 4, they ask for the immigration office requested for processing this application. As we are doing an inland application, what should be the office stated here?

The application time for the office in my home country (Singapore) takes more than 2 years, hence we want to apply from within Canada. Problem is, I have only been here for 2 months this year. What should i fill it in as?

Thanks a lot.:)

Just my first post as a permanent resident of Canada after my landing interview yesterday. It all went OK, the officer was about 30 min late for our appointment. I always hear about many couples in the room, but I didn't see any. There were about 10 people in the entire waiting session and they were either alone or with parents or children. The agent asked the traditional questions on criminality and dependents, and that was it. I asked about applying for a PR card on urgent basis, since I am traveling soon, but she said "there's no such a thing as urgent PR, that's only for passports." I felt like taking my phone and showing her this: (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/pr-card/apply-urgent-processing.asp), but decided not to. She said once I receive my PR card I can go and get a SIN, and also gave me a guide that reads "Welcome to Canada" and a document on residency obligations and such. I am happy it's all over and wish you all the best of luck!

Our call logs included Skype, Email and Text. I was in the same situation as you. I had so many. I ended up sending just over 100 pages of logs. I sent what I had from the telephone company with regards to texts. It was in spreadsheet format since that was how I got it from them. I also sent email logs, which were mostly in one direction because my wife would email me and then I would text her back. I explained that this was because she had to pay for texts. I also sent our Skype log. All of them had gaps. I explained this and told them that if they wanted the gaps filled I didn't have them but would try to get them for them. What I did do was to take a couple of months of each and record the number of texts, emails or skype calls with in that time and in the case of Skype the length of those calls as weel. This helped to paint a picture of constant and prolonged contact in both directions.

I hope this helps.

Thanks think Imma send a bit of each because its alot!!
 
Hello guys, this time to share with you I received AOR today in the morning! yeeeeiii!! :D ;D

I want to use the spreadsheet, but I got confused (I know it so easy hahah!) Where it mentions AOR I was going to write today's date, since I got the email today, but in the email is mentioning they got everything on August 14th, so what is the date I have to consider?

I know is a silly question but I just wanna keep track of everything and avoid confusion!

Thank you!! ;)
