SIN RENEWAL QUESTION

[qw123]

I am now ready to answer my own question. I was working for a year with a valid permit and kept on working for 8 weeks with the same employer (he did not ask me as he did not know) after my work permits expires along with my sin# , i did not apply for a work permit in mean time so i wasnt on implied status or anything.....then after the 8 weeks i stopped working as i know this was like a grace period whther implied or not...and 4 weeks later when i got my AIP through spousal sponsorship, I applied for OWP and then upon receiving my open work permit I renewed my SIN with no worries or issue what so ever. and i am back to work again.

Total time worked with no auth or implied status: 8 weeks

if it may help...i am and been a student all along attending school.

Right, so you had a legal right to be in country, but technically you did not have a legal right to work - your employer should have asked for your updated/renewed SIN (although I wonder how that works now they are phasing out SIN cards - does the printout from Service Canada suffice?)

Good luck with your studies and your PR.

Hi comptuergeek....what do you mean by phasing out sin cards....what are they doing in place of???

All you will get is a letter (much like they hand out at Service Canada now I would expect) with your SIN number on it.

so now instead of a card in your wallet you will have a 9 digit number instead.....which of course people would not know what it is!!!! LOL.......sorta like our Ontario Health Cards....invalid as photo id because there are more cards then people in Ontario!!!!
