Anyone applied for sponsorship and citizenship at the same time?

[HiCanadiano]

Hello folks,

Has anyone applied for spousal sponsorship and citizenship at the same time?

If so, what number are you using when you check the status of your applications?

I have been using my client ID but it shows only my sponsorship application. I was a sponsor of my wife for permanent residence. The sponsorship application had finalized in June but still shows up on ECAS. The funny thing is I don't see anything when I use my PR card number or receipt number or landing paper number to check the sponsorship application. As you know, I had to send all the relevant documents for the application to prove that I am a permanent resident in Canada. So I have no doubt that they have entered my PR number/Receipt number/landing paper number into the system.

I now wonder if I am required to use a particular number to see the status of my citizenship application.

Please share your experience or provide any ideas.

Thank you,

I did. I first applied to sponsor my wife to Canada. A few months later I was eligible for citizenship so I applied for it (see my time lines in my signature below).

I used my UCI number to check the status of both applications. Your UCI number is the same thing as your PR card number or Client ID (eight digit number). When I used it to view an application, it showed both sponsorship and citizenship applications since the server will pull all applications associated with that ID.

I really appreciate your prompt reply. The UCI number should be working once my citizenship application is processed. I should have been more patient.

Thank you again, and have a great day!

If I remember correctly, it took several months before anything even showed up on eCAS regarding my citizenship. It showed up around the same time I got my study guide mailed to me.
