Getting a Social Insurance Number

Do I need a Social Insurance Number (SIN)?

If you do not plan to work either on or off campus you are not required to have a SIN, although it is recommended for the purposes of filing income taxes.
If you already have a SIN which has not expired, you may be able to use that SIN to work on/off-campus without applying for a new SIN (check your SIN card or ‘Confirmation of SIN Letter’ for an expiry date).
If you do not have a SIN and wish to work on or off campus, you must apply for a SIN.

Please Note: You may be asked to provide your Social Insurance Number for reasons beyond income tax or employment purposes. In most cases, you are not required to share your Social Insurance Number (SIN) with others. For a listing of when you should and should not share your SIN, please see .
