SIN number, no address
Apologies if this has already been covered but I can’t seem to find any information on it.
Is it possible to get a SIN number without a permanent address or using a hotel address and get my SIN card sent out at a later date? As I’m flying into Calgary and would like to get everything sorted out before i leave Calgary as I will be doing a bit of travelling before I settle down and find somewhere to rent and odds are I’ll be a few hundred k from the nearest service Canada centre.

Frankly though there is no need to rush to get it if you are leaving the country shortly after arriving.

Re: SIN number, no address
we used the hotel address we stopped in. They were really good and kept our mail for me to collect it after I got a place to stay. It was easier in the interim, giving me time to get addresses changed.

Re: SIN number, no address
When we arrived, we applied and left with our cards the same day. IIRC, there was no need to provide them with any form of address.

Re: SIN number, no address
When I applied they gave me the number right away and they had the actual card sent to their own Services Canada office (where I applied for SIN), which I picked up from them after 2 weeks. If you are going to be in the same area, you can request that they hold the card for you and you can pick it up from them.
