Hi
I am a new permanent resident and applied for my SIN online on 21 November 2020. However, till today I have not received my SIN and the customer care agent said that my application has been routed to IRCC, on 5 January 2020, to get some information. When I asked for what specific information they are waiting for from IRCC, the customer care representative said they do not have that information. I tried calling IRCC regarding the same, and couldn't get through due to high call volume and the system did not connect my call. I have raised 2 webforms and have not received any reply.

Is there anybody who was in the same situation and got their SIN? I am curious to know what I need to do to get my SIN quickly because I am not able to proceed with my job application.

Appreciate your help. Thank you

Did you get the new SIN? I have applied the new SIN since Mar 16 but it's pending, and not sure the reason and they just told me today that I need to call back in 10 business days if I still don't receive it. How about your timeline? Thanks.

I have also applied for SIN, went in person but they are unable to issue it and said that agent will be working on your application but even after these many days there is no update yet. Please help if anything can be done from my end.

For me not yet, still waiting for them to process and they don’t require any further documents.

But how many days we have to wait, are we sure that there is a progress on our application.
Mine is 41 days until now and actually I don’t know they touch to it or forget it. What I heard from their phone is high volumes and have to wait, call back 1/2 weeks. How many days from yours? What did they said details what information they check with cic?

I am a new to Canada and came with work permit and applied for my SIN in person recently. while I enter into sin office they will provide you the small peace of paper all they will ask to fill the father name and mother name, while filling i was miss spelled my father name and enter the last name (basically my father doesn't have any last name in my passport) i think this is region being they are requesting some information to cross check from IRCC to validate, the customer care agent said that my application has been routed to IRCC to get some information. When I asked for what specific information they are waiting for from IRCC, the customer care representative said they do not have that information. I tried calling IRCC regarding the same, and couldn't get through due to high call volume and the system did not connect my call.

Is there anybody who was in the same situation and got their SIN? I am curious to know what I need to do to get my SIN quickly, please provide you suggestion would be appreciated

I got it in 49 days and as my experience, no ways to speed up and what we can do is waiting for them.

Hello,
I received my SIN after visiting the Service Canada office. I had to call customer care every day and they gave the same answer that I have to wait unless someone picks up my case. I told them that I have an offer letter but unable to join as I don't have SIN. One of the reps asked me to contact Service Canada. During that time, we had to request online and I booked an appointment online using the below link.

https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/sin/apply.html

I selected to apply in person and the next day I got a call from service Canada and they asked for the details. I explained about my case in detail and said that it is an extreme emergency that I need my SIN to join a job and my savings were getting over. They scheduled me an appointment and I visited Service Canada and got my SIN.

I would say to do the same and explain that you are desperately in need of SIN. Hope they schedule an appointment and you receive your SIN soon. Good luck
