Obtaining a Social Insurance Number |
In addition to all Citizenship and Immigration Canada requirements, after receiving a work permit from CIC, you need to obtain a Social Insurance Number from HRSDC when working in Canada. The Social Insurance Number (SIN) is a nine-digit number used in the administration of various Canadian government programs, noting that all Canadians (and foreign workers) require a SIN to work in Canada or to receive government benefits.
