Changing status with CRA

[MountainMan256]

When changing status to common law on the CRA website (I have no SIN as I am not a PR yet) is it ok to leave the SIN blank?

Also should we expect any additional letters being sent to us? We have been Common Law for a few days now and are going to change status ASAP ( I know we have 30 days)

Any experience would be nice

Hey @starnaenae did you just claim his global income (estimate)? My partner has been living in Argentina this whole time with no SIN obviously, but I believe your partner stayed in Canada so it might be different?
