They need to verify your identity as per the check list or letter they will send you. Photo ID and health card is good enough

Bring it, they asked me.
They may ask you so don't take risk.
Unless you lost it...and can not get it replaced before the test.

They have already stopped issuing the physical card. So no, you don't need to bring it.

I am surprised that people ask for SIN and that those asked for it provide it!

SIN is not an identity card!

They never ask for sin card. I brought it with me just in case and the agent didn't even look at it, said it was not needed.

haha i am glad that I brought it because the agent did look at it.
Why taking risk not bringing this piece? too heavy!? ^_^

My wife landed in Canada on October of last year. She got a SIN card mailed to her. If they stopped issuing a physical card, it must be a recent change.

that info is incorrect; SIN cards are still issued...

They were going to stop issuing SIN card some time ago and just issue paper cards instead but I guess they didn't go through with it.

As long as you don't apply to renew it early, don't apply to sponsor family and don't leave Canada and re-enter, I don't foresee any problems for you.
