The social security service is valid under
the universality principles (100% coverage
of the population, including citizens and
temporal or permanent resident) and free
access to medical care, non – profit public
management. It also pays attention to the
fact that the prices must be reasonable and
for no reason, exclusive.

You require an application form (available
in the Service canada official web site);
the form is the NaS – 2120, which must be
fulfilled only in English or French. The
social security number bond will be sent
through postal service.
The consign data in the form, refers to the
following information: name, last name,
birth date, sex, name of the mother and the
father, place in which you were born,
condition in canada, address and telephone
number.
Which ones are the documents that you must
present? Well, it depends on the status by
which you are residing in the canadian
territory, at the moment you begin the
procedure. These documents must prove your
identity and show your legal status in
canada. All the documents must be originals.
So, if you are a permanent resident, you
must present one of the following documents
presented by the Citizenship and Immigration
Ministry.
-
Permanent residency warrant
- Permanent residency confirmation and the
visa in foreign passport
- Permanent residency confirmation and the
visa in the travel document provided by the
United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees.
- Disembark proof.
but if you find yourself been a temporal
resident, it is only necessary for you to
deliver one of the following documents (according
to your temporal permanence in canada):
-
Working permission
- Permission for studying and a working
contract
- Visitant documentation which shows a
permission to work in canada
- Diplomatic identity and a note of
permission for working in canada
Every immigrant must initiate the procedure
for getting the social security number
(SIN) as soon as he or she arrives in
canada. It must be highlighted that it does
not require any type of installment or
payment or the right of the procedure. If
everything is satisfactory, your Social
security Number bond should be arriving at
your home address (through the postal
service) in a period of 3 to 6 weeks.
Summing up, the social security number is a
document requested by employers, due to the
fact that they have to deposit the
respective payment to be able of providing
coverage to the medical needs of their
employees. For an immigrant, the social
security number in canada, means access to
a high quality health care that he or she
has never known in his or her origin
country, this is why the universality of the
canadian social security system, is a great
benefit or every immigrant who has settled
in the canadian territory.
