Applied SIN with Record of Landing, expired PR card and passport at Service Canada, was told can not apply without a valid PR card. Any help? Thank you.
How to apply Social insurance number without valid PR?
- Thread starter moonshadow
- Start date
But in the website it clearly states ONE of the following:
Permanent resident card
Confirmation of permanent residence
Record of Landing issued by IRCC before June 28, 2002.
Verification of Landing issued by IRCC.
Status Verification or Verification of Status issued by IRCC.
Permanent resident card
Confirmation of permanent residence
Record of Landing issued by IRCC before June 28, 2002.
Verification of Landing issued by IRCC.
Status Verification or Verification of Status issued by IRCC.
Do you mean Record of Landing, or COPR? If COPR they were right as it can't be over 1 year old.moonshadow said:
If you did become a PR before 2002 and only have Record of Landing, then only reason I can think of is they are applying the same 1 year rule of COPR to Record of Landing. You are right though there is no rule here around Record of Landing so perhaps you can try at another SIN office and bring in the rules to show them. Maybe it's just their general practice that after 1 year of becoming PR, a valid PR card is the only acceptable proof.

Permanent residents must submit one of the following documents:
-a Permanent Resident Card issued by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC);
-a Confirmation of Permanent Residence issued by CIC, accompanied by either a travel document (for example, a foreign passport) or an alternate photo identification issued by a provincial/territorial authority (for example, a driver's licence). Note: The Confirmation of Permanent Residence is acceptable if used within one year of the date you became a permanent resident. The Permanent Resident card is required after this period;
-a Record of Landing issued by CIC before June 28, 2002;
-a Verification of Landing issued by CIC. This document is only acceptable to amend a SIN record or to obtain confirmation of an existing SIN; or
-a Status Verification or Verification of Status issued by CIC. This document is only acceptable to amend a SIN record or to obtain confirmation of an existing SIN.
