Who Can Get a SIN Number in Canada?

The Social Insurance Number (SIN) is a crucial piece of identification in Canada, which is used to access numerous government services and benefits. But who is eligible to get a Canadian SIN? Let's dive in and learn more about the application process, requirements, and eligibility.

Canadian Citizens

Unsurprisingly, Canadian citizens are eligible to apply for a Social Insurance Number. Born Canadians are often assigned SIN at birth as part of the Newborn Registration Service. However, if an individual was not assigned a SIN at birth, they could apply for one in person at any Service Canada office or by mail. Alongside their application, theymust provide primary identification, such as a birth certificate or Canadian passport.

Permanent Residents

Permanent residents in Canada, whether newly arrived immigrants or candidates who have successfully undergone Canada's immigration process, are also eligible for a SIN. For a successful application, permanent residents must submit supporting materials which confirm their identity and display their Permanent Resident Card.
