Hello,

quick question about the open work permit. We received an email from cic stating the owp has been approved and being sent in the mail......do we have to apply for a SIN or does one come with the owp?

thanks!

You have to apply for it via Service Canada.

You will need to wait to have the work permit in hand before Service Canada issue a SIN. You will not receive one with the OWP no.
