Here's what the government says: https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/programs/sin/protect....
That is a fine resource. it stateshowever that while the practice of asking for a SIN in private company sectors is strongly discouraged, it is not illegal. Which is a dreadful shame, because I have encountered more than my share of real estate agents who refuse services if not given a sin. What is more, I know first hand from a bell Senior corporate staff member that at least for a while bell used the request to screen out mobile applicants who were not Canadian Citizens. I wonder why, especially in this data stealing age, the practice is not firmly against the law?
LIkely because the boffins like the data slurp - - - yes?
