Hi, may I ask how we know an application is rejected? Will they call us and notify this decision? I mean, if it is because of the proof of address, it would be ridiculous that they send a mail to notify the applicant, if they decide the address is not trusted, then why would they assume the rejection letter would get through...
Gettin New SIN Number
- Thread starter prapplicant1
- Start date
Ya sensible question but there is no authority to ask our concern. Call centre agent don’t know anything and they say they don’t have any info about our application. After 3 hours of wait they give us this answer. I got rejection letter via mail and even tat also gives standard text that req docs were not submitted. Hence submit all 3 docs primary, secondary and address proof. For info visit SIN link which we seeing online. Example !!! As everything online we can’t even get hold of any one.
I left a message using the online link for someone to contact me and less than 30 minutes later I get a call from service Canada, the man I spoke to told me that he cannot access my information as it is handled by a different office. He did tell me that they are rolling out some new program and that even though I uploaded my docs online, I should expect a call in the next few days/1 week as someone will call me to ask some questions regarding the documents I uploaded to make sure my information is correct.
I'll wait for the call and upload here if I hear anything.

Hey BonjourCA and all,
Your experience and timeline are very hopeful thanks for sharing.
Can you please confirm what did you submit for primary and secondary proof of ID and proof of address?
I am personally a bit confused the instructions say that we need 2 different proof of ID (1 primary and 1 secondary) + 1 proof of address. However, in our case (individuals that landed with a COPR letter and are waiting to receive their PR card); the valid primary proof of ID would be "both" the COPR letter and our foreign passport. Am I wrong to understand that in that case the secondary proof of ID will need to be something else (ie it cannot be our foreign passport anymore). On the guideline they suggest a provincial driving license for instance.
I just want to know if I am overthinking this ...I am holding on sending my application online feeling I do not yet have enough documents. As I read the instructions: only submitting the COPR letter + passport + proof of address is not enough despite what I have seen in other forums....
Also service canada ask for a phone number (they don't seem to accept international phone number either ...I am on the fence ...shall I give a friend number or wait to manage to get a Canadian number once my quarantine finally ends... And that I could open a bank account and a phone line...)
What are your thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your support.
Tuning-in to comment on this bit: depending on where you're staying, you can order your local SIM card online and you'll receive it by mail in a few days (2-4 days from personal experiences). At least Fizz (https://fizz.ca) provides that service; not sure about other mobile network operators.
