OH and I are just sitting here discussing do we actually have to go to the local office in Regina and inform them that we are now PR and we get a new SIN number without the 9 at the start?

OF course not knowing I cannot say so thought I would ask me fellow BE-ers

Yes. SIN numbers beginning with 9 are only for temporary residents. If you have got your PR you should go to your local Service Canada office to request a new SIN number.

Don't forget to change your health card too

Great so now we're both going to have to take a day off work to go to the city and change everything....

Damn ! You might have to factor in some shopping and lunch too, seeing as you are there an' all !! Be a shame to waste the journey

I have lunch at 11:30, you know where I am.

You two wicked ladies - the thought had never crossed my mind!!!!

Of course. before you come in, check whether you can do it only.

Check whether I can do what only?

Oh have we got to change that??? Now I can't remember if we did or not. I'll have to ask hubby when we get home tonight. Somefink else to fink aboot today 'spose.

Why? I dont recall doing that in Ontario... I may just have forgotten about it, but I cant think of a reason they would care.

sorry may not have made myself clear. We are here on a temporarywork permit so when it was extended we had to inform Saskatchewan Health so they would extend our end date otherwise we might go to the doctors/hospital and have to pay. sask has a good free health program for those on work permits, pr and citizens.

Ah, good point!
