Permanent SIN post landing?

[dreamca]

Hi Guys,

Post landing, can I now apply for a permanent SIN? Or do I need to have the PR card for it?

Thanks

you can go to Service Canada and do your SIN number immediately after landing

Yes - All they need is your COPR..congrats.

Have your COPR & passport.

Go to your nearest Service Canada to get your permanent SIN.
Go to your nearest Service (Province) to get your provincial health card.
Go to your bank and change your SIN number and have your status changed to PR. (optional I guess)

In my case, I had to go to the full service Ontario to get my Ontario health card status changed (work permit to PR).
Smaller service Ontario (privately held) won't be able to do it for you as they don't integrate with the government of Canada.

I did go to Service Canada a day after my landing, but they said my new SIN is still not in the system and it takes 3 days to come up, anyone else faced this?
