Greetings! I just finalized my PR over the weekend, and I would like to know when should I apply for a sin card? I already have a sin card as I was a foreign worker. Do I have to do this immediately, or can I wait a few weeks?
 
You should apply for SIN asap as this is something you will be asked for everywhere, starting with your health insurance to bank accounts and more.
 
They are linked, so it's not the end of the world if you wait.

People will ask, and a SIN starting with 9 is temporary. Most services don't require a permanent SIN, as you've likely seen while here.
