Can I apply SIN without PR card?

1

Hi Everyone,

I have completed my landing Feb 2020 by traveling from Seattle to Vancouver. I couldn’t apply for SIN as service centers were closed and I returned to USA.

Can I apply SIN online without PR card?

Thanks

For online SIN application you would need to provide your passport, COPR and a Canadian proof of address (bank statement, Provincial ID etc). I’m not 100 Percent sure what is the requirement if you’re applying from outside Canada

You can apply for SIN online now. Recommended documents:
To apply online you will need to upload copies of at least 3 different documents:

  1. a valid primary document that proves your identity and legal status in Canada, and
  2. a valid secondary document to confirm your identity, and
  3. a proof of address

They will send the SIN to your address by mail in a few weeks. Note that you can open a bank account with passport and CoPR (SIN not required) and use that bank statement as proof of address + residency etc.

I think you need to give canadian address. I could be wrong, but I remember reading this somewhere.

Not sure about that. Might as well send it to a trusted friend here and have them mail it to you. I believe now the ServiceCanada offices have opened up again for in-person.

Hi,

Did you provide your US bank’s statement? And a US driver’s license?

I also want to apply for SIN from the US, but I did not do soft-landing yet.
