What does CIU stand for? I couldn't find what it means

Just wondering what it means because I never saw that abbreviation before.

This was the only mention I found of it here,

CIU
https://www.google.ca/search?q=site%3Aarmy.ca+CIU&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-CA:IE-Address&ie=&oe=&rlz=1I7GGHP_en-GBCA592&gfe_rd=cr&ei=IyT1V6fNO-mM8QeN-avYAg&gws_rd=ssl#q=site:army.ca+%22CIU%22

CIU is not listed in on our Canadian Military Acronyms page,
http://milnet.ca/wiki/index.php/Canadian_Military_Acronyms#C

It does come up on Google however,
https://www.google.ca/search?q=CIU+canadian+forces&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-CA:IE-Address&ie=&oe=&rlz=1I7GGHP_en-GBCA592&gfe_rd=cr&ei=LCX1V6PHF-SM8QeStKnIDw&gws_rd=ssl

UIC – CIU

Such as, 

UIC. Unit Identification Code. CIU. Code d'identification d'unité.

Code d’identification d’unité
Ou CIU, un numéro de 4 chiffres qui identifie chaque unité dans les Forces canadiennes, y compris les unités de cadets.
http://www.forces.ca/fr/glossary/glossaire-102#C
 
Counter Intelligence unit or French UIC or Clinical Investigations Unit are the only CF applications I can find.  Not that we have never made up local stuff or anything. 
 
I would go with UIC. Unit Identifier Code (I think) but en francais? Code Identification Unité?

I see MarioMike is on the same page.
 
Customs and Immigration Union?  Again, context would help.

That came up on the initial search,

But, if I were a betting man, I would still go with this, as it is CAF,

It'd be real nice if OP showed back up and provided some context.
