Social Insurance Numbers

If you are new to Canada or new to working in Canada you need a Social Insurance Number (SIN) so we can pay you!

We can’t pay you until we have it. It's free!

If you are new to Canada, you can apply for your SIN before arriving.

You can use the Cypress address as a temporary address if you don't have one in Canada yet. Just be sure to update your address once you have one in Canada.
Cypress Mountain
PO Box 91252
West Vancouver, BC, V7V 3N9

If you have ever worked in Canada before, you already have one. The same SIN stays with you for life.
