1-800-206-7218I have just confirmed from the Service Agent of ServiceCanada for applying SIN. She recommended 2 options. One by Online and another by registered mail.
Option 1 :- Registered Mail :-
She said if you don’t have address proof then you can send the documents by registered mail and it will take 20 days to process the application but in that case we need to send Passport and COPR in original. You don’t require to send address proof in this mode.
Option 2:- Online Mode :-
In this most of us have doubt about proof of address. I confirmed from her that if we have Rent Agreement which is easy to made, then that’s perfect to be as a proof of address. This mode is more faster than the other one and more convenient.
So I’m going for the online mode by getting a rent agreement (a single page document) which is easy to acquire.
is this what you used to contact Service Canada?
