Temporary tax number

[Msllenij]

If CRA gives you a temporary tax number does it mean that you can look for a job? Even you are waiting for your open permit?

You don't need a tax number to look for a job. You can look whenever you want but can't work until you have a work permit.

Thank you for a quick response.

And also, the time i sponsor my common law partner the CRA holds my child tax, gst/hst etc. They asked for my partner SIN but i informed them that he doesn’t have it cause he dont have yet his open permit. Is that possible that my child tax will be back? Please advise. Thank you
