UMSU University Centre, Room 521 A/B

Service Canada will be coming to the U of M’s Fort Garry campus to issue Social Insurance Numbers (SIN) to qualifying international students.

Students will be seen on a drop-in basis (first come, first served).

•  U of M student card

NOTE:  If your Study Permit does not contain either of these statements, you must bring a study permit and a “confirmation to work off-campus” letter issued by IRCC (previously called Citizenship and Immigration Canada - CIC) prior to February 6, 2015.

-OR-

If you have a valid Work Permit:
