I applied for SIN online from the US by giving US address proof (DL). Received it in 4 weeks at my US address.

Hmm, I don't get it. Can we show a proof of residence from a different country?

Yes, to be precise they ask for proof of address and not proof of residence.

Hey, what do you mean by received it at my US address? Did the SIN have your US address or was it delivered there?

I applied from the US, with my US address proof. The card was delivered to my US address. I don't know what you mean by 'SIN have your US address'.
