Hello,

I didn't write client ID on fee receipt as I wasn't sure what it is. Now I read on this forum it is on the back of PRCard. I did send both sides photocopy of PR Card. Will they return application or not?

If you sent copy of your PR card, then CIC will know. I don't think this is a reason to send back application.

No worries, I also didn't know that the client number can be found on the back side of PR card so I did not fill out client ID section. But mine was not returned.

Many people confuse the two IDs one on front and one on back of the PR card, I think you should be ok

Client ID No. Is the "ID No." written at the FRONT of the current PR cards (issued after 2009) just underneath the name.
It is is an 8 digit number that has the format: XXXX-XXXX
You will also need that number to call CIC in the future should you need to check on the status of your application.

The Client ID is the 8-digit number on the front side of your PR card, or any other immigration documents (including study permits, etc.). The format is: 1234-1234. Read more at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=012&t=4.
