I have been in canada for about 9 weeks Now. I applied for the SIN the very second day I landed.I was told i will get it in 6-7 weeks. I called hundred times the toll free # 1 800 206 7218...option.3. No one takes the call ! Visited service canada 6-7 times all I get is " sorry we cant do anything about it".
what can I do??I need job.

Hi,
you should have received your SIN right away when you applied, thus making it possible to apply for a job as well.
There are several articles on this topic:
How do I get a Social Insurance Number (SIN)?
Applying for your Social Insurance Number... Fast, simple, secure!
How do I apply for a SIN, obtain a confirmation of my SIN, or amend my SIN record (e.g., a name change)?
Did you apply for a SIN in person or via mail?
