Online Processing time for SIN(Social Insurance Number) in Canada

[guca]

Hey, I got rejected today. I applied with COPR, US bank statement as address proof and passport.
I guess I should apply with signed COPR right? what docs did you use while applying?

Yes, you need signed copy of COPR (thats proof you did landing), Passport, driver license, and address proof(we submitted utility bill).

Signed copr is what you need to upload. Did you upload that? don't you have PR card? Was the bank statement credit card statement or checking account statement? In their website they mention credit card statement explicitly and may not honor others.. You could also include another residence proof such as drivers license or utility bill. Call them and see why it was rejected...

I don't have a PR card yet. I uploaded signed COPR now with DL and also credit card statement. Thank you for the info

Thanks for this post for letting me know we can use U.S. address as a proof of address for SIN application.

So I just applied online for SIN (on August 20, 2020) using my U.S. address. Will update if I got approved or received the SIN.

I got the SIN yesterday!

 

[lampbreaker]

how did you submit your original document because it’s online ? What’s the process for it. TIA

They don't need original documents with online application. scanned copies are sufficient.

Hey, my application was refused too. I received my CoPR after a virtual landing because I was already in Canada. My CoPR bears the electronic signature of an IRCC officer. I applied again, I don't know what the outcome will be this time.

Did you have two copies of CoPR? One signed, and the other unsigned?

This makes me worried because I applied for a SIN today with my COPR recieved via virtual landing as well and it just has an electronic signature too. I guess I can look forward to a rejection.

Hi, I also received my COPR which bears the electronic signature of an IRCC officer. I applied for SIN in July and had received it. if you SIN application was rejected you should receive a letter by post explaining the reason.

Hi guys,
I am coming to Canada on work permit and was wondering if I can apply for SIN at Toronto Airport? I read on couple of thread it takes sometimes 1 month to get SIN after online application. I was wondering does Service Canada still offer in person application for SIN? If so I can do it once I finish my quarantine stay.
Thanks

Did you do a soft landing already? Did you have PR card?

I just have a COPR. Planning to land in May this year and move permanently, I am also in Northern California. Do I need to be in Canada once to be able to apply SIN or I can apply before I can move there?

I had applied in QC around 6 months ago to extend the date of expiration of my SIN. They did it in under a week and mailed the new document to my address.
