Before you can start working, you need to be eligible to work in Canada and get a Social Insurance Number (SIN) from Service Canada, a department of the Canadian government.
Service Canada will be on-campus to issue Social Insurance Numbers (SINs) on the spot exclusively for UBC Vancouver students in the Life Building on Aug 28, 29, 31, Sep 1 and 5, from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm. This saves you a one-hour commute to the nearest Service Canada office and is faster than the current 10 business day processing time for online applications.
