Work Permit arrived - what to do next?

[BenjiTreitz]

Hello!

Maybe some disclaimers first:
1) I am rarely on this forum, so I am not familiar with the threads and subtopics. If my question is in the wrong section, I apologize.
2) I am generally horrible with bureaucratic things, so please excuse me if I am using a term or concept incorrectly or just appear to be plain-stupid w/respect to these regards^^

Background: I am German and living in Canada on a (still valid) student visa since Feb 2015. My partner and I have applied for my Permanent Residency under the Spousal Sponsorship Program(we are together since 2012). Along with the application I filed for an (off-campus, full time and open) work permit. This work permit arrived last week Friday (3/4/16) and it is 'in force' since 2/25/16.
It further says "Pending FC APR" under "Remarks/Observations" (=="pending family class approval" I guess). No other documents were shipped from CIC.

I am very eager to find employment asap in Canada, but I am not sure what to do next. I do not have a PR-Card yet (obviously) - can I still get a SIN-Number?

Any help is extremely welcome and thank you very much for your assistance!

Congratulations!

You can now get a temporary SIN, by taking your OWP, along with your passport, to your nearest Service Canada office. You will get your temporary number (that will begin with the number 9) on the spot.

Thank you very much for the quick and kind response! Will do that first thing tomorrow morning.
