Landing letter June 28, 2018
My one last question is has anyone got the landing interview in Vancouver office and is able to get SIN right after?
I have seen several different cases where people got rejected while applying their SIN right after their landing interviews as Service Canada told them that they can only apply SIN after receiving PR card. However it depends on the location.
My current work permit is going to expire soon as well as my SIN so I really hope to get a new SIN right after landing interview as I do have a job.
As per Service Canada's information below I assume having an COPR should be enough to get a new SIN, can anyone shed some light?

- a Confirmation of Permanent Residence issued by CIC, accompanied by either a travel document (for example, a foreign passport) or an alternate photo identification issued by a provincial/territorial authority (for example, a driver's licence). Note: The Confirmation of Permanent Residence is acceptable if used within one year of the date you became a permanent resident. The Permanent Resident card is required after this period
- a Record of Landing issued by CIC before June 28, 2002
