thank you! I just checked again and it was approved!! Been waiting a while so it’s a massive weight off of my shoulders.
Hey everyone. Does anyone know how to apply online for SIN? I checked the website numerous times and it always says that this service is unavailable and that we should apply by mail. I don't want to send originals via mail, so would prefer online application if possible. Did anyone have experience?

Please be advised that this service is currently unavailable and we are working on resolving this issue. However, we are still accepting applications by mail.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
I see what you're referring to and it seems like it's a temporary issue, maybe with their software or internal system? I would be reluctant to send originals via mail too, but it's your call. Maybe they'll be accepting SIM applications online again soon, or you may figure that it's worth the risk to submit originals and have your SIM assigned rather than waiting.
There doesn't seem to be any other option if you really need the SIN. and yes, I also don't wanna send original documents by mail.
Also, the website says refrain from applying for SIN unless it is urgent. Any idea what is considered as urgent?
when did you apply? right now the online service is unavailable and the only option is to send documents by mail.

I applied on the 6th of April, service Canada confirmed they mailed it out on Friday.
Okay !! Even I have applied on 6th and my confirmation no was 1633 and no updates yet. Wat abt urs ?
Mine was 2024 and I called for an update, I’m sure yours must be in the mail if all docs were submitted properly.
Tats nice !! I called and every time ends up with disconnect. Hope we will get in mail soon. Thanks for ur update
hey thanks. Yes it looks like they opened it today or yesterday. Also, the conditions for urgent and non urgent have been removed.
