Service Canada has revolutionized the Social Insurance Number (SIN) acquisition process with its innovative SIN@Landing program, now available at six major Canadian airports, including Toronto Pearson, Montreal Trudeau, and Vancouver International. The program allows newcomers to obtain their SIN immediately upon arriving in Canada, significantly reducing processing times and wait lines at Service Canada Centres. Looking ahead to 2025-26, the upcoming SIN@Entry program promises further efficiency by integrating SIN issuance directly with immigration applications, eliminating the need for separate applications altogether.
