Thanks bro. I looked at the second hand market (khijiji,autotrader) but the prices are as high as the new ones. Any idea why? Maybe I'm looking somewhere wrong?

For that car your insurance would easily be above $600 in Surrey. I would suggest you to not get a car the first year you are here. It will easily cost you $1000 with gas/insurance/maintenance

global chip shortage causing supply of new cars to run low, pushing used car prices up and car dealership scumbags to markup the prices of cars in their lots

Yup. Used my Indian number.
Just a heads up - on the signup form, when they ask for contact information, I choose "Outside Canada" as my country. The lady who called me didn't let me book an appointment because apparently, I filled the form wrong.
If you fill out the form, choose Canada and choose the name of the province you will be landing. Tell them you have already landed and need an appointment. Have the zip code of the Service Center you are interested in handy.
Also, I found another Service Canada when one was able to get a SIN by doing a walk-in at 7:30 and walking out with SIN at 10am:
Service Canada Centre
5353 Dundas St W, Etobicoke, ON M9B 6H8
+1 800-622-6232 https://g.co/kgs/gP8t5J
The above is through the telegram group I am a member of. Two people vouched for this location.
Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try.
I am landing in Vancouver. As per google reviews the one in the New Westminster allows you to walk-in. But reviews for all Service Canada locations aren't that great.

If you can travel, try for appointment at this Service Canada office - 3480 Gilmore Way, Suite 100, Burnaby, British Columbia. Very less crowd and should be quick.

Yes, but as stated by @stirredo, best thing would be to book an appointment to have peace of mind.
When you raise a request for callback, put Canada no. (use textnow or fongo app). Tell them you want an appointment for new SIN at above mentioned office. The agent will let you know the earliest possible date. Even I was told by agent that appointments are generally open for next 30 days. So assume July appointments would not be open now.
If the appointments are full, ask agent to call you back once those for July open. They do call back
