I got my permission to land however I have a major question. I had to come back over to the states to work due to financial reasons. Now I got 3 job offers to Canada but I want to know what to tell them in regards to how long after landing I will be eligible to work. Anyone know how long it takes from landing to be allowed to legally work in Canada?
Got the permission to land and now another question
- Thread starter Wlind9999
- Start date
You need to have a SIN as noted below. You can google and see if you can apply before landing to process quicker or not.
What is a Social Insurance Number?
Your Social Insurance Number (SIN) is a nine-digit number required for temporary and permanent residents to work legally in Canada and to have access to government programs and benefits. You can apply for a SIN at a Service Canada office. Make sure you bring with you the required documents and a completed application form.

I went into Service Canada the day after I landed and got a SIN number. They print you one on a sheet of paper and it's free to use right away. Your SIN card then comes in the mail in 1-2 weeks.

I only brought my passport and COPR that was stapled in it to get a SIN. Didn't have to fill out an application.

You should get SIN within an hour of walking into a Service Canada office near your home in Canada. Yes, you can immediately proceed to work.
Check it out online to confirm.

Yes you can literally work the day you get it.
