What is a Canadian SIN and why do you need it?

A Social Insurance Number (SIN) is a 9-digit number required to work legally in Canada and to access certain public programs and benefits.

SINs issued to temporary residents, foreign workers or international students usually begin with the number 9 and are only valid until the expiry date stated on the immigration document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

It is essential that your SIN information remains up to date and matches your valid immigration status.
