SIN application
 

Hi there, just a quick question if I may? We have already landed our visas and will be moving out for good in June this year. How long do you have to be in Canada before you can apply for your SIN?

Many thanks!

2 minutes :)

you can go as soon as you've landed , take your passport and COPR , give them an address ( probably needs to be in Canada) and bob's your aunt. you get your number there and then on a slip of paper

or you can leave it until you return

your choice

ta for that! I had it in my mind that you had to wait for six weeks! That's good news!

probably thats how long they quote you for your card to arrive or something , but we did ours the day after we landed .
