My wife recently had a baby, and when we discharged, I had some papers shoved in front of me that I had to fill out. One of those was for the Child Tax credit, and the other was I think for her SIN. I'll be honest, I was all hungup on making sure the trip home went smooth instead of focusing on the paperwork, so I'm not 100% sure where things stand with the SIN.
Recent parents...did they make you fill out a SIN application in the hospital? Or did you have to fill out something else completely? Obviously need one so I can start putting her to work around the house. Oh, and setting up an RESP.
Looking through some stuff, I see that she received something called a Unique Lifetime Identifier. Not 100% sure what that's for (perhaps her health number) but I that's not some sort of automatic SIN is it?

There is a combined form now that does SIN, birth registration, birth certificate and child tax benefit now in most provinces (AB inc.).
