Hi guys, finally have my stuff settled as of today, so I want to provide a timeline for PR landing and sin number update process under Covid situation.
I received email request for landing in April, confirmed my current location and received the confirmation letter right after; I sent out PR card application immediately, so far it has been 40 days, haven't received PR card yet.
As many of you guys may have experienced the same situation: our sin number is approaching expiration date but due to lack of valid PR/Visa and the shutdown of Service Canada we can't renew the SIN. I was lucky enough to receive my PR confirmation letter two months before the sin expiration date so I went with mail application to renew the SIN.
The application was sent out by mail at the end of April, the updated SIN was sent out on May 27th and received on June 11, so be prepared to give it 2 months to renew the sin by mail.
Hope this will help and everyone can work through the current situation! Good luck!
