In the next few weeks, I will be traveling to Toronto from the US, initially as a six-month visitor with the hope of finding some form of employment.
Based on the questionnaire on the Immigration website, I qualify for an open work permit. I do not have a job lined up, but plan to volunteer and network upon arrival in the hope of finding a position.
I have thoroughly read both publications from Settlement.org. home page. I have also spoken by phone and posed questions to nextstopcanada.ca. I have received some very informative responses and links to additional information. Still, I am a little confused.
My question:
Since I will enter Ontario as a temporary visitor – not a permanent resident – do I still go to the settlement agency to apply for the SIN?
Thank you.
