Gettin New SIN Number
- Thread starter prapplicant1
- Start date
Hi thank you for replying, I don’t have any address neither I know any one over there. In online application it’s asking for proof of address. I saw other option is mail which I don’t think much comfortable. Does any one know if I can just walk in Service Canada after 14 days? I have been trying calling them but no luck so far.
Oh I see. Ok I will try to apply online with air bnb address. Do you know if we receive any confirmation receipt when we apply. So mean time I can provide this to my employer? So for asking too many questions just kind of confused.
Employer would ask for actual SIN number. They would not accept acknowledgement receipt. You have to discuss this with your employer.
How Airbnb address can be used for proof of address? Is printing the Airbnb invoice enough for the proof of address?
Hi, yes I don’t think air bnb receipt will be valid. I am trying to contact them. Other way I guess is to put friend address if we know someone.

@Canada_Pr4u , how has it gone for you?
My spouse and me have the same issue. We landed on October 3rd (on Expired CoPR and authorization letter) and on the 1st day after quarantine went to Service Canada hopeful to get our SINs. But the officer told us there was a problem in the system and that our SINs will be mailed to us in 2 to 3 weeks. 45 days passed and still nothing. After many attempts over the call, we got to an agent who could not find reference of our application and ask us to apply again online. Now it's been 3 weeks, but more than two months waiting in total. I didn't know that it had to do with the Expired CoPR status.
Anyone else experiencing the same issue?
It takes up to 20 business days to receive new SIN, so you may not hear anything back until early February.
"If you apply for a SIN online or by mail and your application meets the requirements, you will receive a letter with your SIN by mail within 20 business days from the date the application is received. If more than 25 business days have passed and you would like to find out the status of your application, contact the SIN program. "
