Have you received your AOR? After you receive an AOR, you should be able to access the above site.

If yes, then try entering the name/surname properly, as well as the client ID without the '-' in the middle.

I had the same problem, but the issue ended up being with how my name was input in the system by IRCC.
So, the problem may not always be the UCI number, it could also be the name/format, and the DOB, country of birth etc.

If it doesn't work using any of those tricks, then maybe it makes sense to call IRCC and speak to them.

Still have the same issue for my wife's application since AOR. Tried all combinations (Appln. no, UCI, Full name etc.) without any luck so far. But CIC does provide updates on the progress of your application over call.

It doesn't really matter what address you had for PR application. What matters is the address in your citizenship application.
If you don't have an access to the ECAS you can submit a web form or call them.
