What is an application number?

An application number is specific to your application. We send it to you when we start processing your application.

To find it

• look at the top corner of the letters you receive from us, such as
  • the acknowledgement of receipt letter (we send this after you submit an application)
  • an invitation to a citizenship test or ceremony (a letter or an email)
  • other letters
• sign in to your account if you applied online (under View the applications you submitted or Account messages section)

Application numbers usually have 1 letter and 9 numbers. For example:

• Citizenship: C123456789
• Work permit: W993830598
• Economic class: E099977028
