I have applied for SIN on February 28 and I was told by the agent that my application needs further attention by the head office.
Thus, may I know my application status and how long will it take to be mailed.
Thank you

August 5, 2023 9:59 pmHi Avinash,
You need to submit a valid and original Primary identity document. You may find the list of acceptable documents on Canada.ca website. https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/sin/required-documents.html
Photocopies are not acceptable, it must be original. If you have missed any of the documents, you must replace it with the appropriate issuing agency or department.
Meanwhile, if you already have a SIN, you can just find it through T4, Notice of Assessment, etc.

I applied for SIN on July 02, 2023 online and it has been almost 2 months but I have not received my SIN yet. Every time I follow up on my application over call or in person, I am asked to wait. Due to this issue I am facing financial difficulty also now as my employer cannot pay me without SIN. Please help what to do in this case?

September 1, 2023 3:39 pmHello Kawaljeet,
Generally speaking, you should not get any issue applying for SIN if your immigration document was able to validate against IRCC database during the SIN application process. Technically the employer can still pay your salary, just not able to issue your T4. You may visit your local Service Canada centre to find out if they can issue a letter for you to show proof to your employer that you are waiting for your SIN application.

September 8, 2023 10:00 pmI have applied for SIN number on August 2,2023 at Service Canada Centre and they didn’t issued me one by saying that a person with same name and date of birth as of mine still exist and they need to get it approved/checked by their higher authorities. I have asked whether our parents name is also same, so she said no parents name is different and issued acknowledgment letter to me, its been more than 20 business days still whenever i call to ask about my SIN status they only had one answer we are having high volume of applications ,we can’t give you any estimation how long it will take . I am having an virtual interview for amazon but they are not accepting acknowledgment slip and refusing to select me if i dont possess the SIN number till monday morning . What should i do ? I am suffering from unemployment because of their fault in processing application.

September 13, 2023 6:15 pmHello Jasmine,
First of all, do you already have a SIN? If so, you can just provide your SIN by showing documents such as old T4 or Notice of Assessment, etc.
If this is the first time you are applying and there is an urgency to receive your SIN, please bring your Primary Document(s) and Supporting Document(s) to your local MP’s office for assistance. They should be able to help you expedite your request.
