i think only your airline can answer these questions

You maybe right..but i guess there's nothing wrong with getting the SIN the next day or 2 after landing. You wont need the SIN once you place your foot on canadian soil....its not like the job is waiting right outside the airport ..this is canada maaaan..we all know how tough it is

Have you landed? Is canada that tough? All we hear are how nice, beautiful it is.

People here nice and friendly.

Its tough in terms of getting jobs as they don't recoginze international education or experience easily

Have you landed? Is canada that tough? All we hear are how nice, beautiful it is.

yes, i landed last february...but i left after getting the PR card. I plan to return back for good in a few months time.

Its beautiful and nice and everything...but its tough to get a job in your field - thats what i was referring to.

There's no question of maybe. I am right because I did it this way. In any case the point wasn't whether you need the SIN or not after landing, it was where you acquire it.

Ok, if you actually did get it at the airport - then thats new info to many of us - you haven't mentioned that earlier

Its worth sharing in a "clearer" way (maybe even create a new post for it - to make sure more people now about it).

Natural beauty can't be challenged, it is beautiful indeed.

Wrong. You can get your SIN number right after you complete landing at YYZ and before Customs. Service Canada has a counter there right beside the Immigration counters.

The locator of Service Canada is http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/cgi-bin/sc-srch.cgi?ln=eng and the Postal Code of Pearson Airport is L5P 1B2. If anyone is interested to know the facts, he can go for a location search and will find nearest location is 5-6 kms from Pearson Airport.
@ thereds -If you found the counter it may be for one day and for you only, because after you and before you, no one got SIN at airport. No office/ Kiosk of Service Canada exists in Pearson Airport. Going by your posts I have noticed your rude comments, you definitely have an attitude. No body is inviting you to respond to members question, if you don't like members questions then you are not being forced to be here. And by the way in case you want to press the "poor" rating button it is on the left.

Here is how you responded:

Granted my posts have been a bit churlish and blunt but the sole reason for that is that this site is being abused by people who don't want to do any research themselves and that really annoys me. I know it shouldn't bother me but it does.

For example, that one chap is posting the same question about his airline ticket under multiple threads that bears no relevance to the topic being discussed. That's close to spamming for me and on other well moderated forums, the user either gets his question moved or deleted, and if he keeps doing this, eventually banned. The irony here is that I probably deserve the same for my 'responses' to him.

Lastly, when someone takes the time to provide a response such as Wilson did, the least the user who asked the original question could do is acknowledge the response provided rather than ask the same question again in the same thread.

I'll drop away now.

Welcome to Canada, I am happy that you did your RTA attestation from Min of F'affairs Dubai otherwise it without that it would be an issue!

Hi guys,

Finally Landed at Toronto Pearson Airport thru KLM Airlines via Amsterdam. Flight service was good and everything was on time. We had halt at Amsterdam for 3.5 hours which we enjoyed seeing the airport , duty free,etc (no transit visa)

Now coming to Toronto Airport, after coming out of plane, there were 2 lines – a) Permanent Residents Entry and b) Visitors Visa. If u r landing first time, u need to go to Visitors Visa Line. (Many of this will be known but just want to share , as we had went to PR entry line and were trying to scan the Canada Visa which was not working)

You will enter at Immigration who will check your passport (not COPR or goods to follow list ,etc). She will stamp ur passport and will ask you to go to CBSA officer who check your COPR and will ask you the address. Here we had address but there was one number (e.g 75) which was apartment number and I was not sure whether its Villa Number or Street Number. So make sure you understand ur address correctly. She ask me to update the address online or fax one form (she gave) to given number. For Proof of Funds , I had handed over the form which had US$ and CA$. She didn't ask the funds for checking. Finally she said “Welcome to Canada”.
After clearing from CBSA officer ( COPR and POF) , u will go ahead and u will get detailed explanation of Canada benefits, schooling, etc which will be explained by person at the counter.

After getting all brochures for Canada, you will move ahead for Customs for goods declaration. Normally they don't ask for Goods carried list and ask for Goods to Follow list. I had Goods to Follow list in excel sheet print out (6 pages) with nearly $60K. There was not much crowd and officer ask us to come. He ask do you have goods to follow list and I immediately handed over the list. He went through the list thoroughly one by one and said “GHEE” is not allowed. He cross that item and ask What's “MILK MASALA”. My wife explained him. Again he ask “What's “CHUDIDHAR” (indian dress) , we told that its indian dress for girls.
Then he was checking gold item list and ask do u have photos and we showed the photos. I asked him that I need to add 2 things which I missed and he said you can add it. I added manually in the list and he then trying to add the values in the list (as I had not given total value of goods at end of sheet)
Took a taxi for Brampton and it cost us 65$ from Pearson Airport to Brampton.
Next day, I went to Service Ontario for SIN Number and we got it in half hour. The lady well explained to us of Canada system ,etc. I had updated my address there as there are Desktops lying there for online service (free to use). There will be lady who will be helping if u r stuck up anywhere.
After SIN number, got my mobile SIM card ( please remember its not mandatory to give ur SIN Number to mobile card sellers for prepaid card atleast). For post paid card also, u don't need to give SIN but then u will not get SIM card. So its ur call to give the SIN number or not. I didn't gave SIN number to card sellers as it was prepaid.

SIN number is very important and keep it in proper custody. There may be misuse of your number.

On 2nd Day, I went for Driving test at Brampton . I showed my Dubai License, RTA letter (Attested one and its mandatory) with Passport. She gave me token and ask to pay. At other counter, the guy took my eye testing and confirmed my address, DOB, and name. I asked him that “Is Attestation mandatory on this letter”?. He said yes its mandatory and other lady staff also told with him the same thing.
I pass the G1 test and will be appearing for classes for G2 (3 to 4 classes). Each class will cost $30 and then I will be appearing for G2 test. Again then I need to take 3 to 4 classes for G test and then final test on highway.
Note:
1) In G1 test, there are two sets of questions – a) Sign test and b) Rules test.
2) Rules Test is tricky and suggest you to prepare yourself. There are some rules in Canada which you will know after you have practice. You can go to “ApnaToronto.com” for test.

This country is very calm and peaceful. People here are very polite and courteous. Everything is systematized and you will like it.

That's all for now and will keep you update guys.

Regards
Cool

Yes you get SIN number at Airport but only on working day, if you land on Saturday, Sunday or any other holiday, then SIN official will not be there, and you have to go to Service Canada office to get your SIN
