Update!
So after receiving a very confusing letter (see previous posts), I actually received my SIN on Thursday.
Timeline:
April 3rd - Passport with COPR, application, letter of urgency, and pre-paid express return shipping mailed via Canada Post
April 8th - Application received in NB
April 13th - confusing letter mailed by SIN office
April 21st - confusing letter received by yours truly
April 23rd - SIN received in the mail, along with passport
Unless you paid for express shipping, it most likely will take a while for them to receive your application. The postal service is very delayed at this point.
I hope this helps anyone waiting. And yes, they do hold on to your materials until they issue the SIN. It's very nerve-wracking.

My partner and I applied within seconds between each other, yet we had a difference of 350. Its in higher 26** series
I don't believe that many people applying online (or even in Mail). Almost everyone who landed before March had a SIN. Don't think thousands of people applied on mail and online within a few days. Its just SC processing it with not a high priority.

I applied on april 6th in the morning and the series were 1800 and in the evening i applied for the family member and the series was 3500
As all service canada offices are shutdown thats why people used online option. When there was overload of applications they shut down online applications

Does anyone who has applied where any of your parents did not have a family name (surname) and was successfully able to get the sin card. If yes, what did you enter as the surname in the application?
Hi
1. You realize of course that SIN are not issued in sequence, that there is a check no. so it can be checked to ensure they are authentic, Also each province has a different staring no. i.e. BC is 7, Prairies 6
You should have seen a number on the webpage immediately you applied, it wasn't emailed to anyone. Do you remember what day you applied?
