SIN without being in Canada yet?

[santiago.ac]

Hello,
I started classes online from my home country in Fall 2020, and I've recently received an email regarding the T2202 tax thing. However, I understand I need a SIN to fill these forms, and even though I've applied for one, I haven't received a reply. Am I even able to get a SIN if I can't provide a Canadian address? Do I need to fill the tax form if I haven't been in Canada, or worked in Canada yet? I'm unsure how to proceed with this thing and my university isn't helping. My goal is PR so I don't want to screw anything up.
Thanks.

I had the same problem. I just told them my study permit application is delayed, and I'm still outside Canada; living at the same address I gave previously. They said no problem and created T2202 and there was another of this kind on my outside Canada address.

Thanks! Who told you this? The university, or CIC?

The university said "it was fine", and I recently got both the tax form in my student account, both have my Indian address on them. Also, in the SIN section. it's 0000........
