Apply for a Social Insurance Number (SIN)

A Social Insurance Number (SIN) is a number that the Canadian government requires for taxation purposes.  If you are working in Canada, you require a SIN to get paid. A SIN is required only if you earn income in Canada (eg. on-campus employment).  This number enables your employer to make the necessary government deductions.

You must provide your SIN to your employer within three days of starting work.

You must for a SIN.  You may apply online, by mail or in-person at a Service Canada office.  For details of how to apply, review our "Social Insurance Number" instruction guide. 

Important: Your SIN will expire at the same time as your immigration document (e.g. study permit). When you renew your study permit, remember to , if eligible.

Note: A valid SIN alone does not authorize you to work on and/or off campus. You must still meet the IRCC work eligibility requirements in order to legally work in Canada as a study permit holder, even if you already have a valid SIN.
