Hi Everyone
Sorry for not posting lately, but I have been really busy lately. My Girlfriend and I made it here (London) safely, found a place to live, and have seen a lot of the sights. Now we are getting really to start working, but we are a little curious about this whole NIN thing.
When we got our Visas in Canada, there was a notice with it saying we HAD to have a NI number to work in the UK, but on Canada Day (The Maple Leaf was rocking that night!!) we were talking to some other canadians and they said that you really don't need one. I have talked to some other Aussie friends that have been here for a year or so, and they say they had the worst time getting one and they really have no idea why they needed one or what the benefits are of having one! One of them is just using a "temporary NI number" and doesn't see the point going through the hassle to get a real one. The whole thing sounds pretty dodgy to me!
Anyways, that is why I am turned to you guys again. Does anyone really know why I need one or what the benefits are? Anyone care to tell their experiences or stories about getting one?
Thanks for all the great info,
Beyond 11
