I am trying to request "PAC" code so I can create an "My Service Canada Account". My SIN is probably in dormant, inactive since I have been living in Canada for over 20 years and now ready to get the CPP.

The form could not be submitted because 1 error was found.
  • Error 1:The information entered does not correspond to our records. Please check your information and try again.

Here is my findings for CPP and OAS application outside Canada.
1) No real method of doing it online
2) Don't bother with calling anyone. No will answer your calls.

Here what I found from one of the contacts at SIN service:

go online to service.ca and search for form ISP1000 (CPP) and ISP3550 (OAS).
Fill and mail it

Good luck.
