Proof of Address question

[jhin44]

Hello, I just wanna ask that how am I supposed to give a proof of address for things like SIN number, bank account when I'm staying in an airbnb as a newcomer ?

It could be a letter of confirmation from the landlord. Or it could be just an envelope with your address and full name.

Like a Canada Post envelope.

Like a Canada Post envelope.

But I'm gonna stay with them only for 2 weeks. Is it okay to use their information ?

Do you have a better choice? If no, do what you can and later you will be able to update your address anytime.

Unfortunately I can't rent a house before moving to Canada so yes this is my only option for now. Thanks for the information.

So how are you going to apply for SIN number, bank account? It should be within Canada when you arrive and have an address.

I guess my only choice is to prove them that I don't have a house yet and show my airbnb receipt. I read that it worked for other people
