Canada Tips

Work Permit

If you are a US citizen, you will need your offer letter and $150 at the YVR airport or the border. Otherwise apply at least 1 month ahead of time through a Canadian embassy for a form, which you can convert to a work permit at the airport (allow several hours for waiting in line).

SIN

Get your Social Insurance Number ASAP by going to the downtown office (address?) and showing your work permit. You will get a receipt showing you applied; give this to the CS office. You will get the number in the mail 2 weeks later; give this to the CS office, and then you will get an UBC employee id.
