Hi
Have you got your SIN number?
Same thing happened with me also. We came on PR. Went to service canada for SIN on 14th July. My husband got it at there only but my SIN got stucked. They said they are not able to fetch my information and told me call on SIN customer care. It's been mora than a month I haven't received my SIN. I called them 3, 4 times but evertime they are saying theee is backlog. Please anyone can help or any information regarding this.

You can still work while awaiting your SIN to be processed
“Once you have applied for your SIN, you may begin working insurable employment before you receive your SIN.”
You just have to show you’ve applied to the employer . The employer just needs proof you are awaiting for it to be processed
Have you got your SIN now? It's 5 month now, I hope you got it. Can I reapply for SIN or just need to wait.
Hi,
I'm also facing similar issue whatever you mentioned. Did you get the SIN? if yes, How long it take? Do we need follow any department?
Could you pls suggest the way?

My son has got into similar problem. Applied for SIN in Feb 2024 and it's Jan 2025 now - no SIN yet, we were calling multiple times 1-866-274-6627, where they just say it is in progress. Can't understand what's wrong and if anyone is actually working on the application, no indication of a progress. We even got officer from Service Canada talking to representative answering 1-866-274-6627 and this vicious circle is not broken still.
My son is Canadian citizen, finished school here in Canada. Without SIN number he can't start to work and the institute he has applied to requires the SIN number. He can't run own business either, so basically he has got stuck in limbo. I'm thinking about a court case against them.

Can't he call up CRA, get a temporary tax number and then do cash jobs such as plowing snow, car wash, lawn mowing, etc?
When you read the above link , it says "once you have applied for your SIN, you may begin working insurable employment before you receive your SIN."
