Hi everybody

Please help me understand what documents I need to apply for a Social Insurance Number?

Thank you very much.
 
what is your current status? if you are a PR, then all you need is your passport and COPR (landing document).


if you're here on work visa, then i'd assume you need your passport and the visa.

Work permit issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Study permit issued by IRCC, indicating that you are authorized to work in Canada:
a study permit that indicates the permit holder “may accept employment” or “may work” in Canada
; or
a study permit and a “confirmation to work off campus” letter issued by IRCC prior to February 11, 2015.
If neither of these requirements is met, you must contact IRCC to verify if you are eligible to apply for an amended study permit.
