I had submitted EE application for which i got UCI number as CANXXXXX. Recently my EE profile expired.
Now i have to submit SDS study permit application. On this form do i need to mention EE UCI number or just leave UCI field as blank ? Also on Medical History Sheet do i need to mention EE UCI number or just leave UCI field as blank ?

Regards,

Leave it blank. That UCI is randomly generated. Only when you apply after getting an ITA, that's when you get an actual UCI. Also, UCIs are 8-digit numeric codes so anyways you cannot enter the above code by default.

Thanks! For future visitors to this page looking for a citation/reference to what @ChaChaVidhayakHain said, here is a link to the gcmsnotes page where I found the clarification: https://gcmsnotes.com/what-is-uci-and-file-number-which-one-to-use-to-get-gcms/

"If your UCI/Client ID number starts with CAN, then your visa application processing has not yet started. A UCI number starting with CAN is a temporary number that will change to an 8 or 10 digit number once the processing starts."

You can add it in the all application or leave it blank,
They have UCI in their database against your profile.
