Thanks
What do you mean exchange your SIN? For details on SIN card, check the link below -->

http://settlement.org/ontario/employment/social-insurance-number/your-social-insurance-number-sin/how-do-i-get-a-social-insurance-number-sin/

Yes, I suppose you can get a health card. the rules might vary from province to province. Check this -->

I am currently on work visa with a SIN that starts with 9 and expires in 1 year, i imagine i have to change that to a permanent SIN..i think someone else said you can do that after completing landing using the COPR

yes, thats correct...you can once you have COPR...you don't need to update Equifax or other credit bureau reporting agencies either...automatically done...just update the SIN change with your current employer and banks and you shall be fine..

health card remains as is

Best wishes!

Yes, you need to update after you've landed, you will need stamped/signed CoPR & passport.

SIN:
I went to Service Canada office to update SIN and got new permanent SIN same day I'd landed. An Agent at Service Canada suggested me to update my new SIN to employer & CRA too.

Update new SIN to employer:
you need to update as soon as you get new SIN no.

Update Banks/RRSP/Loan etc: make an appointment and update them, if you have any loan you might get new better rate and banks will need new SIN to report CRA.

Health Card: you need to update because you will get new health card with no expiry date.

Driving License: Optional- you can update if expiry date is closer.

The docs will be good..no need of photographs ..once you goto canadian side rhey will tell you what to do..not a big deal..dont worry so much brother..they ask you some statutory questions and then you both sign the COPR..thats it easy peasy

You can give your friends address..it will be approx 40 days before card comes to your friend..

Congrats and wish you well..
