Thanks bro. I looked at the second hand market (khijiji,autotrader) but the prices are as high as the new ones. Any idea why? Maybe I'm looking somewhere wrong?
global chip shortage causing supply of new cars to run low, pushing used car prices up and car dealership scumbags to markup the prices of cars in their lots

I think 3.7 is the nicest rating I have seen for a Service Canada. This is the one I will choose to do my walk-in. If I get a call one more time, I'll ask for an appointment too at this location, although I don't have high hopes for an appointment.

Thanks for helping out, man. If you hear good first-hand experience for another location, do let me know.
You got call on your Indian phone number?

Yup. Used my Indian number.

Just a heads up - on the signup form, when they ask for contact information, I choose "Outside Canada" as my country. The lady who called me didn't let me book an appointment because apparently, I filled the form wrong.

If you fill out the form, choose Canada and choose the name of the province you will be landing. Tell them you have already landed and need an appointment. Have the zip code of the Service Center you are interested in handy.

Also, I found another Service Canada when one was able to get a SIN by doing a walk-in at 7:30 and walking out with SIN at 10am:


Service Canada Centre

5353 Dundas St W, Etobicoke, ON M9B 6H8
+1 800-622-6232 https://g.co/kgs/gP8t5J

The above is through the telegram group I am a member of. Two people vouched for this location.

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try.
I am landing in Vancouver. As per google reviews the one in the New Westminster allows you to walk-in. But reviews for all Service Canada locations aren't that great.

If you can travel, try for appointment at this Service Canada office - 3480 Gilmore Way, Suite 100, Burnaby, British Columbia. Very less crowd and should be quick.

Do they allow walk-in?
Yes, but as stated by @stirredo, best thing would be to book an appointment to have peace of mind.

When you raise a request for callback, put Canada no. (use textnow or fongo app). Tell them you want an appointment for new SIN at above mentioned office. The agent will let you know the earliest possible date. Even I was told by agent that appointments are generally open for next 30 days. So assume July appointments would not be open now.

If the appointments are full, ask agent to call you back once those for July open. They do call back :) (experienced myself)

A post from Indians in Vancouver lol
We were more matured during my primary school days I guess.Indians in Calgary is way better than this
A message with a warning

She is a mean manipulative woman. And will blame you for any messes than you make. She will take a picture and send it to you via whatsapp. She will also use flashlight to prove her point

The unit is an old one with its faults. Any damage that is there she will try to make it your fault and keep your security deposit. She will keep records of your texts and use that against you. She will constantly text you.

She leaves big messes in the sink and will pinpoint your messes even if they are minor. If you try to argue with her she will turn it around on you and use the support of her family living upstairs, and then send you a text the very next day saying how disrupted her day and ruined her mood. If anyone needs proof of texts i have them and will send them on request.

If you ask her nicely to clean her mess she will tell you that you have very few items and you can find the space to clean yours.

She will ask to split certain groceries. Donot do this. She will ask you for items as well Do not give it to her like compass card. She used my compass card twice because i had Upass. She will ask you to replace after her inventory is over. Get your own things and only use those.

She also has the only key to the room door. So she has access to the room as well. She will give you the apartment key only and just the fob. Ask for the room key as well so you can lock the door.

She is renting out apartment 802 right now at 1155 beach avenue. Donot move in with her. She will take living room, but will still act like the apartment is hers. You will be paying 1250/ month and 1315 with utilities
