Hey, computergeekcomputergeek said:If you read the Service Canada website, it actually does say that if one lands inland the SIN will not be issued without the PR card. For someone who lands at a POE, they will issue one immediately with the COPR and passport (+ counterfoil, if not visa exempt). At least this is my interpretation of the following text:

that's interesting, I got my sin# immediately at the immigration office when I landed which was valid to use right away, and few days later the actual social insurance # card came in the mail. so would you think that this is only exclusive to Ontario? i'm not sure about other provinces but it seems its done this way in our local office, i saw another couple who landed and got the sin# right there too.
