UCI Question

[rusticdud]

So for the question

"Has XXXX YYYY applied to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada before?"

I was under the impression this was only for a PR application. So I was answering "NO" to the question.

But post ITA I realize that since I have got a visitor visa once I should answer "YES" to it. I guess UCI is the 8 digit number on the lower right of the visa on passport.

So post ITA changing my answer and saying "YES" and providing UCI, will that be a problem? Would I need to give up my invitation and go back to pool, or just mention this discrepancy in LOE.

Likely no problem. Answer yes and explain exactly as you just did in the loe

Hi..I am in the same situation. Would really appreciate if you could share what you did. Moreover, while creating my Express Entry profile I chose 'No' but now post ITA i am clueless whether I should say Yes or No. I had visited Canada in 2012 on Visit visa (Visa stamp has no UCI Number). Would appreciate any response on this... Thanks!
