---+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.
