Need your Social Insurance Number (SIN)? Service Canada is visiting SFU's Burnaby campus to help you apply on the spot. Bring your original documents and don't miss out on this easy, on-campus SIN clinic. Everyone is welcome!

Planning to work in Canada? You’ll need a Social Insurance Number (SIN) – and we’re making it easy for you to get one without leaving campus!

SFU is partnering with Service Canada to host on-campus SIN Clinics at the Global Student Centre (AQ 2013) at SFU Burnaby. During these sessions, Service Canada officers will be available in person to help eligible students apply for and receive their SIN on the spot.

A SIN number is a 9-digit number issued by the Government of Canada. As an International Student who’s planning to work during your studies or participate in a paid internship or co-op program, you must have a valid SIN.

To apply, you must bring the following original documents:

  • Your original passport
  • Your original study permit with a note stating that you “may work” or “may accept employment” in Canada

No appointment necessary; students will be served on a first-come, first-served basis.
