Mailing of SSN card on canadian address

Post Thu Feb 19, 2009 7:13 pm

When a Canadian citizen obtains TN visa, can he drive to nearby SSN office and apply for SSN with Canada address for mailing SSN so that SSN is available in hand at the time of start of employement.

Waiting for 3-4 after start of employement delays bank account all other activities because without SSN, you have no financial identity in US.

They will send SSN cards to Canada, I've had correspondence from the SSA sent to me here in Canada and obviously a lot of US citizens are born in Canada and need to get an SSN card. I think you can do it via the consulate from what I was reading on www.amcits.com awhile back but if you've got to enter to get your TN-1 anyway I suppose it makes no odds to go to the local SSA office (and you've got to have status in order to apply anyway).

They do say to wait ten days before applying so that your TN-1 shows up in their system, otherwise it takes even longer.
Steve.
