Thanks you.
Seeing that you have landed, may I ask you a question? I went to the Service Canada today to change the social insurance number. The staff told me i can't until I get my PR card as my application was processed within canada by CPP-O.The immigration officer told me during landing i can go and change SIN with my COPR. Now I'm confused. Did you get you SIN changed already?
Hi green_dc, I went to Service Canada a day after landing with my passport and COPR only. They gave me the new SIN on a piece of paper right away and I received my SIN card exactly a week after.
You can apply for SIN with one of the following;
PR card,
COPR with counterfoil affixed to your passport,
COPR with a foreign passport from a visa exempt country.
Look under Permanent Resident of following link.
