You can apply for ITN if you are expecting money from the government like tax child benefit. ITN will take about month to receive it.sophieee said:Thank you for your answer. Altough it's very disturbing, because we asked a bookkeeper about it, and she said it's not possible to file me without a SIN number. Someone would be kind enough to explain me how could my husband include me? (His papers are ready but not filed yet.)
If I understand, I need to send them a T1261 (Application for a Canada Revenue Agency Individual Tax Number (ITN) for Non-Residents) and just put the ITN number in the place of the SIN number?
Thank you in advance.
You can send your ITN application and inform CRA in your and your husband tax return that you applied for ITN so they can match it. otherwise you can write 000000000 at social insurance number.
Anyone can update their info at CRA online website through my account. So you can add your spouse online at anytime .
