I'm doing stage two of my working holiday visa and thus filling out the 'Application to change conditions, extend my stay, or remain as a work' form. The very first field asks for an UCI? I am thinking it is a code. Where do I get that code?

Thanks in advance

UCI - is Universal Client Identification or Unique Client Identification or Unique ID number.
This is not mandatory for first timer but normally you need to fill this up if you have been given a UCI from previous application (PR Application, Visa, Etc) for CIC to identify and perhaps refer some information.

On my visa attached to my passport there is a couple of possibilities



BB152 525 546 (bigger red fonts)

or

U508017756 (smaller and somewhat feinter grey font)

I'm thinking its the first one, but I'm not sure.

HI,

You would find "Client ID" on the top left of your work permit in a box.

Which is nothing but UCI. Look at your work permit not the Passport.


Thanks
