Good Evening,

After receiving an approved work permit by mail, I updated my expired Sin number.
Hence, after review of all my documents at Service Canada today, I received an updated Sin Copy.
However the agent at Service Canada forgot to return my old Sin copy. Will it cause any privacy concerns as Sin number is confidential ? So should I go back and collect the old copy tomorrow ?
Thanking you

You are afraid of Service Canada the agency that gave you your SIN from having your SIN? I doubt they will have your old copy anyway probably shredded already. Just dont share your SIN and other info with strangers and random people that call you and you should be fine.

Dont worry at all! Service Canada deals with a lot of things and hence their employees have access to personal and confidential information of millions of people. Your info is safe with them.
