When filling out my profile for Express Entry in November 2019 I was required to insert an UCI number. I entered the 8 digit VISA number from my passport which has been constant in my last three visas that I assume was the UCI number as it remained unchanged for the last 3 visitor VISAS. However, I logged in to my account today and I notice that my UCI number is not what I would have entered. I'm seing CAN0000********
* represents other numbers. Could this have been changed by IRCC as this is an application for Permanent Residence away from my regular visitor Visa?
Nothing that beings with "CAN0000" is a UCI; the UCI would be on the last line of the text block on the visa in your passport, on the right hand side, above the machine readable type areas. I believe they may be 10 digits now, but yours may have been 8.
I don't work for IRCC so I can't tell you what they entered into your application, or even if you're reading the right line. I'm telling you something that begins with CAN0000 is not a UCI as I know it, so I can't answer your question to your satisfaction and I don't know if anyone here could.
Obviously the answer is that IRCC changed something in your file. Whether it matters or not, only IRCC can tell you.
I apologise if I may have sounded rude or harsh. This was not my intention. Thanks for your feedback. It's most appreciated. I'll have to see how best I can look into it
