@legalfalcon hello,
My Pr was approved on March 3, 2021 however I went to renew my health card today and the lady pointed out that my UCI number on the COPR document is different than the UCI number assigned to me on previous immigration related documents, what do I do In this situation?
Your COPR is your proof of PR status in Canada and it should matter, specially for health card since that is done by Province and they do not deal with immigration, which is the prerogative of the federal government.
If you had issues, you should contact IRCC to have it corrected.
If you had a different UCI number for an earlier application and a different one was issued for the PR application, then most likely IRCC would have consolidated them and the one you see on your COPR will be the effective one.
As per IRCC household is defined as:
Household: If there is more than one UCI for the same client, this is a data integrity issue. As there is no way to delete a record from GCMS once it is promoted, the UCIs must be linked by performing a household. When a household is done, the multiple IDs will still exist but they will be linked together.
If you do not have more than one UCI, then after verification, your application will be promoted, i.e. processed further. Many PNP applications are parked for this verification.
See

and search for household.
