Apply for Your Social Insurance Number on Campus! Service Canada officers will be present at the SFU Burnaby campus to assist you with obtaining your Social Insurance Number. A Social Insurance Number (SIN) is a 9-digit number that the Canadian government requires for taxation purposes. You must have a valid SIN in order to be paid for any work you do in Canada.

Please bring your original passport and original study permit with the notation that you are authorized to work ( if you don’t have this notation , you will not be eligible to get the SIN!)

Registration is required! Please see this page to register and learn about the documents that you will need to bring with you.

Please be on time for your appointment. SFU will not hold your spot if you are more than 5 minutes late. Service Canada will not be able to process your SIN without all the required documents. Visit the Service Canada website for a complete list of acceptable primary and secondary documents.

Walk-ins will be welcome as time and space allow; priority will be given to those who have registered.

If you have any questions, please contact an International Student Advisor at intl_advising@sfu.ca or 778.782.4232.

Dates: Thursday, Jan 9

Time: 10am-3pm

Location: Global Student Centre (AQ 2013)
