Hi Vince,
Since it is the same UCI number (I was a student as well, then received my post-graduate work permit), I would assume that the processing center will see this in your record.
However, if I were you, I would take the initiative to call the CIC Call center and ask the question. Here is the link which provides the number to call.
cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/call.asp
Follow the steps on the automated response to talk about permanent residence applications. This will put you in touch with a representative who will open your file and answer your question(s).
I find that some reps are more helpful than others. If you do not get a clear answer the first time, then call back a few hours later and you will speak with another representative (this happened to me, and asking a second time worked).
Hope this helps!
