Social security number

If you are authorized to work or study in Canada, you may be eligible to apply for a Social Insurance Number (SIN). A SIN is a unique nine-digit number issued by the Government of Canada that is required to work legally in Canada, receive employment income, and access certain government programs and benefits.

You can apply for a SIN:

• Online
• In person at a Service Canada Centre
• By mail

When applying, you will generally need to provide proof of your identity and your legal status in Canada, such as a work permit, study permit (if eligible), permanent resident card, or other accepted immigration document.

For complete eligibility requirements, required documents, and application instructions, visit the official Government of Canada SIN application page:
