I love your video thanks

[@LivinginCanada]

Thanks for watching!

Great video! I have a quick follow-up: Is proof of address necessary if we apply in person? We won't have any proof of address during our first week of arrival :(

[@LivinginCanada]

It's been a while since I've requested a SIN in person, but I believe that proof of address is just for online applications, as the SIN document will be mailed to you. If you go in person you'll get your SIN on the spot. You can double check the document requirements here: www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/sin/required-documents.html#gc-document-nav Cheers!

When applying online, how can I prevent mail from being lost? How can I find out my SIN number as soon as possible?

[@LivinginCanada]

If you have concerns about it getting lost, then I would go and get the SIN in person.

Hey, I love your video.. I have a question.. I got my ecopr and I applied for my SIN online like you showed... The CRA login website now says that I will get a security code in the mail.. Do you know how long will this security code take to come? And can I get it by calling CRA too??

[@LivinginCanada]

I am not sure how long it takes, and I don't remember the part with the security code, unfortunately. But as far as I remember the whole process only took a few weeks (until I received my SIN in the mailbox). When in doubt, yes try and ask them for clarification. Hope you get it soon!

[@lauraminwang7930]

@@LivinginCanada ok, I think I will call CRA and ask. Thanks for the video and info

Hi! I just want to ask something because my wife applied for a new sin number because she got her post graduate work permit and we did it online. And until now it hasn’t arrived yet. It is months ago. What can we do?

[@LivinginCanada]

I would just drop by the office and ask in person, things can get lost in the mail, although I hope that's not the case! Normally it shouldn't take that long. In any case, make sure you follow up quickly to get that SIN! All the best!

[@sagarjadav7855]

I had a temporary sin and got my new sin after PR. Now, should I update this on my cra account for taxes? I updated my new sin to banks and my employer.

[@LivinginCanada]

That's right, you need to use your new SIN for everything. Congrats for your PR!

Can i use presto card with my apple wallet and how?

[@LivinginCanada]

[@gaganpreetkaur5168]

Can international students who are new to Canada apply online for SIN number???

[@LivinginCanada]

When I first arrived I did it in person. But I believe that you can do it online as well, at least I can see the option presented when going on the website!

[@jorgebonilla2887]

Can you live in USA an apply for Canada social security card?

[@LivinginCanada]

Usually you can apply for a SIN card in Canada, if you are citizen, PR, or have a work or student permit.
