Rejected EE application and eTA

[Michau]

Starting tomorrow, non-residents need to have an Electronic Travel Authorization to travel to Canada via air. I had applied for Express Entry last year and the application was rejected due to incomplete documents from one one my employers.

Now I want to gat an eTA number and I don't know how to apply for it for my wife. I was the primary EE applicant, so when I applied for my own eTA, I answered "Yes" when asked if I have applied to CIC before and I provided my UCI number which I got from EE. Then I also answered "Yes" when asked if I have ever been rejected a visa, and provided an explanation about my EE profile.

However, I have no idea how to answer these questions for my wife. Technically I was the primary EE applicant and she was listed as a spouse on my EE application. I don't know if she has a separate UCI number, because CIC never provided one - the rejection letter only contains my UCI number. Does it mean she should answer "No" to these questions?

No - they won't.

The launch of ETA has been delayed by six months.

That's good to know (though they don't seem to say anything about that on the website).

But anyway, either now or in six months, I still need to answer these questions on the application form and I don't know how...

Where did you get that information from?

Delay is mentioned in several places on CIC web site including here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/eta.asp

She needs to answer "yes".

Thank you. And what UCI number should she enter - mine?

^ Can you leave it blank if you don't know? UCIs are unique per person.

None because she don't have one.
If you wife applied/had any work permit before, UCI number is in there
