Where do I need to inform my new SIN after getting a PR? (I had a temporary one before)

Hey everyone. I had a temporary SIN while I was under a work permit. Now that I'm a PR, I have a new SIN.
I've updated my main bank and my employer files. But what else do I need to update?

Do I need to call all my credit cards to update them as well? What about Equifax and TransUnion, do I need to do anything about those? In that sense, do I lose my credit, or is my credit history remains exactly the same, just with a new SIN?

Thanks!

You need to update CRA and make new account with new sin number. Your old account will automatically get synced with new one .
