Document No. In Landing Paper is not Valid so Service Canada denied to issue SIN

[AB172234]

Hi Members,

I applied PR Under CEC Class and recently landed in Canada Through Rainbow Bridge. I have been granted permission in the landing process and my Passport has been stamped for entering in Canada.

PROBLEM:

Now after landing i went into Service Canada for Getting the SIN Card. as i was on work permit before so i had to change the SIN to receive a permanent SIN Card. But Service Canada said that they cannot find the Document Number present in my Landing papers in their System. So I had to call CIC office to assess the situation. they said that they are looking into their system to find out what happened. But now i am very curios what might have caused this?

My Wife also landed with me (she was dependent) but she got the new SIN without any issues. Its only for me that they couldn't find the document number. Has anyone heard it before? I am currently too tensed, just thinking what might have caused this. I can understand that this is definitely some mistake made by CIC.

I will really appreciate if someone can highlight more on this.

I have never heard of it and I think it must be a CIC mistake. Maybe a typo somewhere in the system. I suggest you go back to Service Canada again and see if it works the 2nd time. Maybe CIC has registered the document by now. If that doesn't work, then you can phone CIC again.
