Didn't realize my common-law already had a UCI number from when we applied for his Visitor Visa extension. Seeing now that he does have a UCI. Application already at Mississauga. Will this cause problems??

UCI is not a mandatory field in any application form. So chill

Good Luck! It has been kind of a challenge to find American/Canadian couples on this forum, so it is a delight to have come across your post. We chose New York as my fiance is from RI and it seems closer, but from what I have heard NY is no longer doing interviews. Keep me posted on your application progress as we sent ours Aug 9! P.S, I am from Alberta too - Welcome!
My husband and I are an American/Canadian couple too :)

I found this thread from 2015 about the process.

It looks like you get your Application Number and your UCI number when you receive the AOR1. Which I have been reading on these posts can take about 21 to 25 days.

If you put your email address on the application form you will receive an email otherwise a letter.

Generally, the AOR confirmation means that your package was opened up and all required forms have been included, all required signatures are in place and the latest/current version of all forms were submitted. This usually means that the application will not be returned as incomplete...but now always.
Oh ok! Thank you for the info!

Silly question. When I try to link my application...do I (the sponsor) enter my spouse's information (i.e. his passport number, date of birth, number of people in application etc.)? He's the principal applicant/sponsored spouse.

Or would he create an account with MyCIC/GCKey and enter his own information.

Thanks in advance!
