Weeks of Welcome: Social Insurance Number Clinic
September 23 at 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm

What is a SIN?
To work in Canada, you will need to apply for a Social Insurance Number (SIN). A SIN is a nine-digit number that you need to work and be paid in Canada and to access government programs and benefits. You will also need to provide your SIN to UBC for tax purposes.
Get your SIN on the spot if you bring all the required documentation
To apply for your SIN, you must bring:
- Original physical passport (digital copies will NOT be accepted)
- Original study permit (and/or work permit, if applicable—digital copies will NOT be accepted)
No registration needed. This is a drop-in session.
