Yes, you can get a drivers license without having a SIN card.  You do however need a drivers abstract from your home country to prove your driving experience.  If you are unable to prove at least a 1 year driving experience, you can only get a G1 license which does not allow you to drive alone.  You can in that case only challenge the road test to get a G2 license when the 1 year period is up or you can shorten it to 8 months by completing an approved driving school.

Why can you not get a SIN card though?  When you become eligible for an off-campus work permit and want to work, you will need one.
