Does anybody knows if my husband can have a temporary SIN number?
The sponsor pappers where aproved, I'm canadian and I sponsorshiped him, but now the visa will take more 8 months, and we have a 2 year old baby and I'm pregnant and moving to Ontario in July...

Is there any alternative for him to start working? He has companys interested in him but only after he gives a SIN number...

Thank you

It depends on how you applied for PR. If you applied using the outland (outside of Canada) process then there are no open work permit / temporary SIN options available. If your husband wants to work before he has PR, he will have to find a company who is willing to offer him a full time job offer and also able to obtain an approved LMIA. He can then apply for a closed work permit.

If you applied inland, you should submit an application for an open work permit. Once the OWP is granted, he can start working.
