Has anyone applied for SIN online and received it in the mail? Because of COVID, all the service centers for SIN are closed so I was wondering how long it is taking for people to get their SIN number if they apply online?

I applied for vehicle renewal sticker through service Ontario( same place you apply for SIN) and it's going on 2 months now. I stopped by center to ask and was told to come back if I haven't received it after 2.5 months

Thank you for the info but Service Ontario is not the same as Service Canada. SIN is for national ID whereas Service Ontario is for province/state.

True, but I applied for my SIN at the same place. Yes, it's ontario but they handle national services too.

you can not track it. you will receive the SIN number by post if it's approved. if rejected, you will receive a rejection letter at your address.
