Social Insurance Number Application Session

A Social Insurance Number (SIN) is a 9-digit number issued by Service Canada, a Canadian government department. You need a SIN before starting work in Canada, to file taxes, as well as access government programs and benefits, if eligible. You will also need to provide your SIN to UBC for tax purposes.

Please come to the Global Engagement Office on September 11, 2024 (Wednesday) to apply for your social insurance number on-site. First come, first served!

Note: You must bring physical copies of your passport and study permit to the session
