Hi
Go to a Services Canada office in person and apply for a SIN. Take your passport and work permit with proof of an address. They will give you the number and you will receive the card in the mail in about 2 weeks.

You can start work right away. You don't have to wait for the card.

they will give you a receipt when you apply which has your sin on it so you can then show that to your employer.
