lost my care card / sin card
 

how do i go about replacing my care card?

is it a long process for the sin card, are they able to just give me a new card with my old # or do they have to make me a new #?

Crummy deal man. Take a look at this first and I hope it helps.

Turnaround time for both the SIN and Care Card are typically very quick. If I recall correctly, my dad got his within a week from the day we sent it to the day he got his replacement. The same goes for his Social Insurance Card. Good luck!

Edit: In regards to the fee for your BC Care Card, you may or may not be charged for it. My dad, brother, and myself requested a new one and although we sent them a cheque to pay the fee for a replacement, they sent our cheque back saying that it was not necessary. :)

thanks a lot man appreciate it

oh a somewhat related note, is it possible to get my citizenship id replaced?
it's not damaged or anything, its just that the picture on the id was from when
i was 8 or 10 years old.

the link only points to getting the card replaced due to damage or stolen
and i heard getting the citizen card replaced is a big pain in the ass.

That's weird, when my mom inquired about getting my care card when I moved in with her in 1998 (my dad had lost it), they told her they don't reissue them.

That would be untrue.

Ware and tare over the years will destroy the card and so they have to reissue.

Hmm, thanks, I'll have to look into getting one re-issued then :)
