Getting SIN numbers

[easykiwi]

Hi! I'd love to hear any stories folks might have about getting their SIN number if they are from a country that does not require a visa to enter Canada.

My PPR requested only a copy of my passport pages so I won't be getting the counterfoil, however docs required for SIN seem to indicate COPR and counterfoil are required.

Anyone experienced this yet?

Thanks in advance!

It will not be a problem.

If you are really worried, when you apply for your SIN, take a copy of the CIC request (letter or email) for your passport pages.

You'll simply go to a Service Canada, and present your passport with the CoPR. This is proof enough, and they will issue you a SIN on the spot. You'll receive a document with your SIN on it. The card will follow [through the mail] a few weeks later.

You will be mailed the COPR by the processing office.  So you will be fine as you will have it when you "land"
