Hi ,

I got my COPR but due to covid situation i am unable to travel. Can i get my SIN number online before landing by using the online option? Can i give my overseas address so that mail gets delivered to me.

Are you not in Canada? Did you get landing for inland applicants Where you get COPR directly? If so you must send in a webform indicating you are not in Canada.

Can I do my landing and then submit SIN application online once I return to my current country of residence?

Hi all, I have done a soft landing in Canada recently and plan to return to my country on the 15th day of my arrival. Given that I don't plan to shift to Canada immediately, i will not be working here and will not need the health insurance. In such a case, can I apply for SIN once I move here permanently (in 2021). All service canada centers are closed now and to apply online you need a proof of address :(
