Eliminating the Proof of Address Requirement for SIN Online
Since the implementation of eSIN in April 2020, program requirements have evolved significantly to facilitate easier access to applying for a Social Insurance Number (SIN) online. By eliminating the POA requirement for SIN applications online, the eSIN application process is now easier and more user friendly for you and your clients.
In-person or virtual SIN Clinics remain available and can still be provided when working with larger groups of clients.
How to apply for a SIN online
SIN Online Portal
Applying online is easy. Submit a SIN application online within a secure and protected environment using SIN online and upload digital copies of documents.
Please consult the What do you need before you apply page and information attached to ensure that you are informed on all required documents before starting the application.
Eligible clients applying through the SIN online portal can expect to receive the letter containing their SIN in the mail within 15 days.
By providing an email address on their application, clients will receive an email confirming that their application has been received and a second email to let them know when their application has been processed. If their application did not meet the requirements, they will receive an email containing guidance on the requirements to obtain a SIN. Providing an email address eliminates the need to wait 5 days to receive a rejection letter.

International Student Survey Report
Since 2015, Windsor-Essex has seen a substantial increase in international students attending our local institutions of higher learning and using their education as an opportunity to migrate to Canada through the Post-Graduate Work Permit Program and other channels.
The Windsor Essex Local Immigration Partnership (WE LIP) is interested in better understanding the needs of international students locally. For this report they retained Munro Strategic Perspective and Creative Momentum Consulting to direct two strategies to gain input from both international students and partners in the community – a survey and focus groups.
A total of 298 students took part in the survey, while 15 individuals representing business, education, and social services were involved in focus groups. The purpose of this report is to document the findings from the survey and focus groups, staying faithful to the words and opinions of those who took part.
The report demonstrates that there are opportunities for improvement to make Windsor-Essex a welcoming community for international students. As well, deeper research and investigation is need important to fully understand the scope and nature of what is needed.
International Student Action Plan
International Student Consultation
The Windsor Essex Local Immigration partnership invited International Students living in Windsor-Essex to participate in a small community forum on April 6, 2023 to share input and experiences on living, working, and learning in this community.
During the consultation, the key findings of the International Student Report completed in FY2 were shared and a poll was taken to get an understanding of the experiences of International Students in the community. The international students provided feedback on the survey findings and discussed ways in which the community can better support the International Student population.
This outreach was being led by University of Windsor student Ronnie Haidar, Ph.D. Candidate in Argumentation Studies, and fourth-year University of Windsor student Liam Swain who provided the International Student Consultation report below:
