Thanks Alibaba, that saves me having to go to service Canada. The lady i spoke to at CIC said that i could work without a SIN number hahahahahaha. Which i know for a fact is not true. I mean how is a person supposed to go for an interview? when they ask for your documents you say "i dont have them right now, but i will receive them oneday i promise...". What employer in their right mind would take a chance like that? With someone they only just met who has a number written on a piece of paper with a validity date. I am actually planning on waiting untill friday to see if anything arrives in the post, then i am just going to pay the fee for replacement documents and wait the 30 days for a replacement. It saves me about 30 days waiting for something I know is not going to arrive. That is if they let me go that route.
