Landed on the 26th of March and received an update in my account today that my card has been approved and dispatched. Have to be honest I’ve no idea about ghost updates as I stopped checking it a while ago as it was taking so long...

Landed 26th of March, no card or updates.

Update: I know have a full G Canadian drivers license, which arrived in the post two days ago. At least I know have solid proof of address evidence so will apply for OHIP early next week. Unfortunately still no update on my PR card or SIN number, the sin especially is causing my a lot of...

They surely need to put something else in place? It's all very well offering help financially however you can't access it without a SIN number...

Hi all, another quick update: CERB: I have spoken with multiple agents who has confirmed I am eligible to apply for the CERB benefit due to my circumstances. I have a job lined up in Canada that I cannot start due to Covid-19, and my new employer are happy to write a letter confirming this...

Anyone had any luck with either SIN number or PR card for those who have landed recently? I still have received/heard nothing since landing on the 26th of March. I have a job lined up but need a SIN number which is incredibly frustrating.

I've still not heard anything back for my SIN number application unfortunately. I managed to link my PR card on the portal however this has not provided me with any updates or new information, it's coming on three weeks since I landed however obviously the PR card processing times are probably...

Update from today: Driving License: All drive test centres across Ontario are now closed, so any services relating to driving licenses and tests can only be done from the college park service Ontario in Toronto. I went today and overall the process was pretty painless. I was just switching my...

I asked the bank to provide me something with my new address on their letterhead which should do for now. The bank itself didn't require a proof of address.

...It was literally snowing half an hour ago in Windsor

Little update from today just to summarise: SIN number You are now able to apply for a SIN number online, as far as I'm aware this is an entirely new service. You are no longer able to apply for your SIN number in person. This can be done here...

All drive test centres in Ontario have closed, so the only way currently to exchange your license is to go to the college park Service Ontario in Toronto, the only one in the province offering this service at the moment. I live about 3 and a half hours from Toronto in Windsor, so a bit of a...

You can now apply for a SIN number online, however this requests proof of address, which I don't have. I've put in an application anyway with all the documents I had and hopefully they process this as they would as a new immigrant landing at the airport.

I did yes, there's an option on the drop down menu to update address.

Hello, I didn’t get anything about an application in progress, it was just a notification they’d updated my address to the one I’d given. It seems a lot of responses from CIC can vary even for the same request so I wouldn’t worry about it. I’m due out of isolation tomorrow, so need to start...

No problem at all, we're all in the same boat here so it's good to return the help I received when applying! You'll have no problems updating your address, they still seem to be replying to webforms relatively promptly (within a week for the ones I have sent anyway). I've now got the problem...

Just upload a letter of explanation explaining exactly that, as long as you are clear why there is a discrepancy with a valid explanation, you should be fine.

I landed on the 26th of March and also had a tough time with the agent upon getting my COPR cleared, I wouldn't take it personally. They also did not take an address for my PR card from me, I updated this via webform and got confirmation the address was added to my file yesterday. As for how...

So as far as I'm aware you can continue to travel to your final destination, providing you have no symptoms. However again the rules also apply you must not take any form of detour, including visiting a supermarket at any point. You are only permitted to transit to your final location. As a...

Thanks Islander. I do feel the agent I encountered was quite on edge and stressed with the situation, although I'm not sure it's fair to take that out on travellers who are still fully abiding by the rules... It wasn't the greatest welcome to the country however I got there in the end. I...
