Condo in Toronto/SIN - please help

[userpg]

Hi guys.
We are moving to Toronto. I am trying to make sense, book our tickets, hotels ect.
Our plan is:
1. We want to arrive to Toronto on the 7th of December.
2. Stay in Toronto and look for a condo for rent (5 nights in a hotel) + rent a condo and get a Toronto address so I can apply for my SIN number.
3. Fly to New Brunswick on the 12 th of December t visit my wife's family for the Christmas and New Year (3 weeks stay in New Brunswick).
4. Come back to Toronto around the 1st of January 2016 (Friday evening), stay in a hotel over the night and pick up keys to the apartment on Saturday, the 2nd of January.

We don't have a Canadian credit history, but we have enough cash to pay the rent a few months in advance.

My questions are:
1. Is 4 work days enough to find a condo in Toronto? Is it realistic?
2. If so, is it possible to sign a contract starting the rent on the 1st of January?
3. Are real estate agencies opened on Saturdays?
4. Can I apply for a SIN number (in Toronto) to be send to an address of our condo in Toronto?
5. Can I stay in New Brunswick for 3 weeks, while waiting for a SIN number or do I have to stay in Toronto?

Thank you for your help in advance!

1. That's very tight. It's possible - but be prepared for the possibility you won't find one in that short a period of time.
2. Possible - but again, with only 4 days, you may find it difficult.
3. Yes.
4. Yes.
5. You can stay in NB.

1. Four days should be enough, but it would help greatly if you did some research on Toronto's various neighborhoods in advance. That way, if you have an idea of where you'd like tos tay, you can narrow down your search to a handful or buildings.
2. Yes
3. Yes

Thank you guys!
I decided not to book a flight tickets to New Brunswick yet and spend more days looking for a condo. I'll rent a car and drive to NB when I find the perfect condo. No deadlines, no rush
Thanks again.
