Hi all,

When my previous work permit expired my SIN expired along with it. I have got a new work permit (not an extension, its a new one entirely), do I need to go to Service Canada and get a new SIN or is my old one reactivated?

I sent IRCC a message asking them but no response yet and I need to go back to work on Thursday. I'd like to find an answer online before making a trip out to my nearest Service Canada.

Many thanks

You need to go renew your SIN.
