Does the Unique Client Identifier (UCI) change?

Hi!

I recently passed my application for PR. I already have a UCI since I was initially had a study permit.

While filling up the express entry application, I said 'no' to the question where they ask 'Have you applied with IRCC before?' Which then skipped my chance to put my UCI. After submitting my application, I noticed that they gave me a UCI with 'CAN' in front of it and the 9 numbers in the end was not my initial UCI. I then went in again and edited my answer. So, at this point, I was able to put my UCI. But when I checked, my UCI it's not what I have for my study permit. I don't know if you get my story.

I have 2 questions:
1. Does the UCI change?
2. the UCI that starts with CAN, is that my new UCI?

Thanks!

When processing of your eAPR starts, your old UCI will be promoted and will replace the current one that starts with CAN
