Btw, can you try to call your embassy in Canada if they can make up some letter and posted to your current address?
Applying for SIN online after landing
- Thread starter anilgopa
- Start date
And since last Friday it's possible to use a letter of employment as well (providing your address is printed on it)
The easiest way is to open a bank account online with TD, they will send a letter by post without the need of activating the account (can be done later).
Hi, can you suggest where I can do that? I need address proof for SIN as well. I called TD and they said I have to come in person.
You may try their minimum chequing account for instance ($3.95/month):

The letter might take between 5 and 10 business days to arrive though and you need a Canadian phone number (I used Public Mobile, ordered before my landing and charged via recharge.com).
Just to tell people here that I sent the online application for a SIN on May 28th and received it today (so almost 2 weeks).
I used my employment letter as proof of address.
As a side note, beware of scams: I received a call and it was an prerecorded male voice saying they found the supporting documents suspicious in my SIN application (not sure how they found at I was a newcomer) and asked me to call a different number to avoid judicial proceedings. LOL I didn't buy it :-D

Hi Everyone,
I am a new immigrant to Canada and as required by law, I completed my 14 day self isolation and finally on the 16th day went to TD bank and opened an account. Although they promised that they will send out a statement by mail they provided me a stamped letter called "assessment of funds" . The AOF letter had my name , account number , balance and details of the person who generated the letter on TD bank's letterhead.
I have used the stamped assessment of funds letters , my passport (1st and last page) and signed COPR to apply for SIN
My question is if this is enough or should I have waited for the physical statement to arrive in mail. I do not have a driver's license / rental agreement as of now .
Thanks
