Subject: How long to obtain SIN number within Canada
  My spouse (Canadian Citizen) and I are moving to Canada in January 2005 and I will be applying for PR within Canada. Once I´ve sent my application off how long will it be before I receive a SIN number so that I can begin to work and approximately how long will the PR application take?

Hi Tina,

Will canadian immigration automatically issue me a SIN number whilst my application is being processed? Or will I have to wait till ´approval in principle´ which will take about 6 months, then apply for SIN?

Many thanks, R

Hi ... (in reply to: How long to obtain SIN number within Canada)
Hello::
I see Tina misunderstood your question. It takes 4 weeks to get it once you´ve applied for it, but for doing so you need to be approved in principle first wich may take anywhere between 6 and 9 months( some people have been lucky and had it in 5 months). Once they give you this approval,you have to apply for a work permit which may take another month to get. When you get this WP in your hands you can go and apply for SIN which will take another 4 weeks.
As you can see it not going to be soon.
Justbe patient and welcome to this limbo.
