I am an landed immigrant but do not have a PR card or SIN card.
I am currently working in the US and plan to apply for jobs in Canada. Can any one please tell me if I need a PR card or SIN card to apply for jobs in Canada.

You dont require it for applying, CoPR is sufficient but once you take up the job you will require SIN.

To finalize you candidature, your employer would need your Sin number and a ID (Passport will do), so you would need SIN in that situation

Even I am in the same situation where I am a PR but do not have a PR card or SIN card. I plan to apply for Canadian jobs from US since I work in the US. Only if I get a job in Canada I will leave my current job and migrate to Canada. But do I need a PR card or SIN card to get a job in Canada? Please help

You do not need anything of those while applying for a job. But you need to give it to them as soon as you get a job.
I was also working in the US. I had a PR card but no SIN card. They did ask for the SIN card but I told them I do not have one but I will give it before joining the firm. They agreed to it. I came to Canada 3-4 days before joining the job, applied for SIN and gave it to my employer before taking the job.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Do the employers ask for a PR card? I am a landed immigrant but do not have a PR card.

I guess employers would like to see some proof that you are a permanant resident. I dont know if landing documents would be suffice
