@legalfalcon can U kindly confirm if UCI number changes after biometrics? I already have the 10 digit UCI number. I just wish to know if after completion of Biometrics the UCI number changes.
Thanks for your reply.
The UCI number is either a 8 digit or 10 digit number and is represented as :
1234-5678 or 11-1234-5678
If you have a number starting with CAN, that is a temp number and will change after your application is entered into the system and the processing of your application starts.
IF you have ever filed an application for Canadian visa before (be it study / visitor's etc.) and you were allocated a UCI, your UCI will change to the same one that you had before. An applicant can have multiple application numbers but the UCI number remains the same for most, unless the previous one in purged and a new one allocated.
All application starts with CAN12345567 and then a new number is allocated when the processing begins. This is around the time when you may have received a Bill or when your R10 is passed.
