Received COPR, do I need a new SIN?

[live4film]

I was told by someone that now that I have PR, I need to apply for a new SIN. Is that true? If that is in fact the case then I probably have to get a new services card as well. What information is included on the PR Card?

1. Yes, as the SIN you hold now starts with "9" which shows you are visitor in Canada.

A 9-prefix SIN isn't a visitor. Visitors don't get SIN's. It means temporary right to work and therefore any employer needs to do additional checks to make sure the holder is still legally allowed to work.
