Hey Guys,

Lost my wallet yesterday, was just wondering whats the quickest way to get back my sin card and citizenship card! Thanks!

[124Y]

When and where did you lose it?

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

Service Canada has made it easy for you to apply for a Social Insurance Number (SIN), to replace your card, or to amend your SIN record.

Simply gather the documents you need and take them to your nearest Service Canada Centre. If your application and documents are in order, you will get a Social Insurance Number in one visit and receive your card within 10 business days.

$10 fee


for citizenship card, you'll have to fill out a application and mail it in. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/certif.asp

Why would you carry your sin card around? now someone can steal your identity. you gotta watch your bank accounts now.

thanks for the helpful replies.....

you're not my mom so if you cant help why do you bother posting? I made a mistake and everyone does, big whoop...

I lost my wallet at Park Royal Shopping Center I believe....I have cancelled everything and ive notified service canada.

Problem with getting my sin card is that they require me to have my citizenship card and i've called in to the place and they say it takes 10months to get my citizenship card. Shitty

10 months?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[kknater]

I always loose things. I wish everything was like a cell phone, where u could just call it to make it ring.

[tubbyboi]

10 months?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!


HAHHAHA that was my tone of voice when i was speaking to the rep there, they say they do make exceptions but you have to write a letter as to why you need it sooner...... Which im planning to do because i need my social insurence number!!

Yeah, if everything ringed then i wouldn't be having this problem now -.-

[Amuse]

If a good person picked it up and they believe in karma, it will get mailed back to you. Or go check with PR lost/found.

i never understood why people carried their sin card around?
i mean, what is the purpose of it?

and it's terrible if you ever lose it...

[Vansterdam]

waiting in line at service canada to get your replacement sin is such a fucken boring and long wait unless you go super early

[Fafine]

took like a year for my dads new citizenship card to come sucha hassle

exactly, that's what i meant. your sin card only has limited use. just remember the damn 9 numbers because it's harder to lose. Cause if you lose it, you're screwed. A sin card is probably the easiest way to identity theft your ass.

[MWR34]

keep looking for it, Its always in the last place you look.



i remember in middle school, I lost my wallet, and like 1 year later it was left on my front door step to my home. covered in mud and very damp. then I remembered the scenario where it might have fallen out... at that point i was like... what kind of good Samaritan goes miles deep into the woods, climbs over no-tresspassing fences, up a hill, near/through a swamp to go camping or WHY, then decides to return a gross missing wallet halfway across town after trekking back through all that... the condition and the distance was not worth the trip.

[skyxx]

I'm gonna shit on your thread.

Why would you even bother bringing your SIN card AND your Citizenship card. What kind of logic is that? Even the government tells you to keep it at home in a safe place. You don't even need it to go shopping or work or whatever with it. However I feel bad for you losing your wallet etc etc.

[you!]

sin card and citizenship card does not belong in ur wallet

[q0192837465]

Speaking of Citizenship card, I have no idea where mine is. I'm screwed

[Gumby]

I have my SIN card number memorized: 123 456 789

So don't you have anything with your SIN # i.e. tax return ,as most have stated ,you don't need to carry your card ,so as long as you "know" the # you should be fine?I can't remember the last time I ever needed the SIN card itself.

[JSALES]

the only time i ever used my sin card was maybe if i were to get a new job

[underscore]

3 things:

school

new job

taxes

so you only need to find it in Sept and Feb or so, and if you get a new job...

Exactly and I don't see a point in bringing your Citizenship card as well.

All you need is the # though ,the physical card isn't necessary,that is why it is so important to protect the # .

Well when I got my student loan cleared at the Canada Post office they needed to see my actual card. Apart from that I've never actually needed the card on hand, maybe for the odd gov't thing you'd need it on hand but that's it.

[Qmx323]

It says "Keep on Your Person" on the back of the SIN card, no joke

[underscore]

Mine doesn't, it says "This is not an identity card. However, it should be kept in a safe place." I got it... almost 4 years ago.

[tubbyboi]

Well if you guys must shit on me and ask, i carried it because at that time i had my temporary lisence and i needed it for getting into clubs and such or bars, but when i got my lisence...i just didnt put it back at home and it just so happened it lost it within that span.

But yeah, i went back to customer service there yesterday and it just so happened that someone returned it but they took my credit cards and debit card but i could careless cause i have cancelled them already. So all the ID's i have were back so thank god. =)

[Gumby]

But just because you have your important IDs back, you still have to be wary of identity theft...

[Zyzz]

how do u check if someone identity thefted u after u lost/got back ur sin card or in the future?

service canada?

[falcon]

this is why you DONT leave you citizen and SIN car in your wallet. memorize your SIN number (I havent had a card in years) and you should never need your citizen car unless crossing the border.

[underscore]

My friend did that when she only had a temp license, when she gave her sin card to the bouncer he was like "uhh, you really shouldnt show me this" you don't know who that guy is, he could easily remember your number. that's why if you waited to get your license and you're gonna need photo ID but not have a physical license for a bit, get a BCID. as far as you SIN even if you get it back I'd say cancel it asap.
