Here's my story:
1. I've submitted CEC application in Feb 2014. I included my dependent in Generic application form for Canada(IMM0008). I paid $1100 as processing fee since I added my wife as a dependent. I'm expecting my wife will get PR as well.
2. I've received my AOR in early March through my email. Only my UCI and application # was included. I can check my status CIC online. I assumed my wife will be having same UCI as mine.
3. I need to apply Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP). I was going to include my UCI number in the explanation letter to prove both myself and my wife is under PR process. But I heard from someone that we were supposed to have separate UCI from CIC. I checked my CIC online and it only shows CIC received an application under my name. I tried my wife's info with my UCI but it didn't work out. I haven't received any letter or email from CIC other than the only AOR I've got.
4. I researched more and it seems like UCI email sent for only one applicant happens quite often. My wife is currently abroad and will be back in a few months. We want to submit BOWP ASAP before her temporary visa expires in July, so she wouldn't have trouble in border service. I don't wanna screw things up and I wanna prove her PR application is in process.
Here's my question. Do you think my wife's application is being processed? Will I be able to get my wife's UCI from CIC call center?
FYI, CIC's email including UCI and application numbers below:
