APPLYING FOR A SOCIAL INSURANCE NUMBER
To work in Canada, you must have a Social Insurance Number. This is a
nine-digit number that you will need to look for a job and to receive
government benefits. Sometimes, you will hear people call it the SIN
number.
You can get a SIN application form through the Human
Resources Development Canada Centre near you. These centres are run by
the federal government.
You can also get a form through your local immigrant-serving
organization or from the post office, or you can download one from the
Internet at www.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/sin-nas. The SIN card will be
sent to you in the mail. There is a small fee for processing the
application.
