I have a landing paper as proof that I have landed in Canada (though it was 20 years ago and I have been away ever since), went to Service Canada to apply for a SIN # and they didn't reject me but they said the system couldn't recognize the landing paper because it is too old so they had to mail it in for me today.

Does anybody know if the fact that my landing paper is too old will cause any problems? Or if I would be asked to do "an interview" with an officer or something like that (they mentioned something along the lines of that today at the centre)?

I also actually have a job waiting for me in Canada but the application over mail will apparently take at least one month... :(

Sooo, any advice/feedback will really help! Thanks!!! :)

So you landed and have been out of the country for 20 years therefore have not met the residency obligation to keep your PR status .?
