I have been checking online re this situation and have not found any solution. I have an expired PR card but could not renew at this point as I haven't fulfilled my residency. However I never got a SIN# nor a health card back when I landed. So now when I went to Service Canada (2 locations already) they declined because my PR card and COPR expired a long time. But immigration lawyers I consulted said their clients in similar situation always get their SIN#. I don't know if anyone has any positive experience or can provide any insights. For those who were not able to get their SIN#, what did you do? Just stay here till you can renew your PR card after 2 years and not work?
Does it help to try different Service Canada locations? Or even in other provinces, e.g. Alberta? I read somewhere that someone was able to get a SIN# via mail option... anyone in similar situation had a positive outcome?
Thank you.
