SIN number - Changing from Temporary to Permanent

There’s no way to get a timeline. Mine arrived in the mail in 10 business days.

Thank you. When you had your new permanent SIN, did you call Canada Revenue Agency to update new SIN or how do we update? Do we need to update new SIN to Service Canada online?

There’s no need to call. It’ll get updated on its own. You would still need to create a new CRA account.

Thank for your useful information but I still don't understand. You mean once we have a new SIN, the current CRA account will be disabled? And how do we create it again? Do they send us a new activation link for the new account? How about Service Canada online account, do we need to create a new one like CRA account?

I had a partner login for my CRA account. It no longer worked for my new SIN, so I had to register again and wait for the activation code via mail. Not sure what happens for people who had a separate user ID and pw for their CRA account. No idea on service Canada account.

I'm using a separate user ID and password but I check in CRA, it looks we don't have any field to update SIN, it looks we have to re-create a new CRA account. How about your old tax with the old SIN, have it updated to the new account? For Service Canada, I think it's same as CRA account, it looks we need to re-create a new one.

My tax forms from my previous SIN showed up in my new SIN and CRA account. So no need to do anything, its automatically linked.

what option do i need to select to change sin after COPR ?

 

[Alimaher_Gsm]

i heard it can take upto 4 weeks for transition from Temporary SIN to Permanent meaning(a friend's friend in Ottawa had to wait for a month) if you are receiving E.I or Child benefits it'll stop for a month until CRA and other related organization synchronizes/transfers over data from old SIN to new SIN.
please confirm if someone else has similar experience

Yes dear
I am experiencing the same situation when I updated my new permanent SIN with CRA by logging new account CRA stop our CCB for this month . Guys Is this normal situation? Will they issue next month ?

@NOC98 Should the application type selected as "Change of status" while applying for SIN online ?

@NOC98 Should we wait for the PR card to apply for OHIP?

@NOC98 Should we wait for the PR card to apply for OHIP?

I waited for my PR card before I applied for a new health card since I still have time. But I think they accept COPR as proof that you’re already a PR.

Thanks, @NOC98, Is there a way we can apply it online or we need to go to service Ontario for this? i tried googling it and didn't see any option to apply it online.
