I forgot to update SIN number...

[Kdash]

My current status is implied visitor. my work permit has expired already. I only recently noticed when I got my work permit, I have to update my SIN number...I would like to ask if it is okay to get income. And CERB with expired SIN number. I've been so nervous about that recently. I got a work permit this summer. But my company canceled the offer because of COVID, then, I got cancelation fee as income, Also I applied to CERB a few months. I thought the SIN number works If I hold a work permit... Moreover, I lost my work permit unfortunately...;( I requested CIC to get a work permit letter once again. If you have any advice please let me know...

So you're a visitor and you want to get CERB and/or use your SIN number to work?

That's not legal and you'll be committing immigration fraud if you do this. You are risking getting deported/banned from Canada.

If I'm misunderstanding your status please clarify so I can give you more complete advice.

Did you take CERB although you never worked in Canada? You don’t qualify for CERB. Your employers were nice enough to offer you a cancellation fee, likely to relocate back to your home country, CRA will be able to see that you worked zero hours in Canada.
