I once studied in Canada, but my visa later expired. I want to apply for a Canadian tourist visa recently. How do I fill in the UCI?

It’s the same, just fill in the Client ID from your previous student visa. This UCI number is the Immigration Bureau file number that will follow you for life.

You do not need to provide them with your previous student visa. They can check your previous visa status based on your UCI number.

The invitation letter is very casual. Ask him to send you a word document, or scan it and send the document to you. You can just print it out yourself. But remember to sign your friend’s name for the letter to be effective.

It took too long to send the letter. It will take at least 2 weeks to send it from Canada, and it may be lost in the mail. Not recommended.
