Hi! After I got refused for my first online student permit application, I applied offline as they were a lot of support documents.
I've applied and VFS informed me that my application was submitted and is being processed on the 4th of June 2019. I want to link my paper application to the online portal so I can easily track the application. But, I've found it impossible to do so. There are a few ways to link the application;

1. Using application number and family name
2. Using application number and UCI
3. Using the family name, given name and date of birth
4. Using Family name and UCI

I haven't received the application number or UCI as I applied via VFS. All I got is the VFS tracking ID which doesn't work for these. I can't use the 3rd option because as per instructions from the CIC, I didn't give a Given Name. My passport doesn't have a family name and CIC instructed to write my given name as the family name. What am I supposed to do? Does the CIC send an email with my application number and UCI once it's generated?
