Tax reporting in Canada - working in US on H1B

[lonewolf19]

Seeking guidance around reporting taxes in Canada.

I am currently on H1-B visa working with an employer in United States. I had applied for Canadian PR via express entry and received my COPR with an expiry date in September 2019.
I plan to visit Canada to initiate the PR card (expected within 60 days from date of entry) sometime this month, June 2019 and return back to the US

Question:
1. Is it mandatory to generate the SIN? What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing it now rather than later ?
2) Do I have to file my taxes in Canada for income earned in US in 2020. I do not have any property or lease agreements in Canada.
a. if I do need to file my taxes, can you suggest any tax advisers like HnR block who can do it.

Thanks in advance.

1. Not mandatory but you may as well just get it.

2. No.

Thanks for the quick response. Am I supposed to report to the Canadian Revenue Agency that I filed tax in the US? Do I need to report it in any manner ?

You don't need to report anything.
