Is it easy to find a job in toronto without a social insurance number?

Question

I'm thinking about going to toronto to find a job and a place there. I'm educated, i have a bachelors degree in Computer science. I'm a 24 year old Mexican, I speak spanish, great english and average german. I know i could apply for a work permit as a skilled worker. But i do not want to live in Canada for a long time, i do not want to be a resident or citizen, I just want a bit of an adventure for 6 months, maybe a year. Working any job that would help me support myself and save a little money after that i'll just come back home or go somewhere else. What do you think? Thanks.

Answer 1

you have to have a SIN in order to work in Canada. Without one, you're not legally entitled to work and they will not hire you nor will the pay you. If some place does choose to hire you, i'd be a bit skeptical as to what company they are.

Answer 2

just make 1 up

Answer 3

I hate to be negative, BUT this is the kind of attitude that we here in  Canada do NOT want to see.

You want to come to our country, get a job but not pay any taxes, to support our economy. Why should  we allow you  to do that ?

You would be taking a job that a Canadian could do. Someone who is a citizen of Canada. Someone, like you,  who is not willing to follow our laws and regulations, should not expect much sympathy from us .

You want an adventure ? Look somewhere else , please .

If you want to work in Canada, go through the proper channels and make it easy for yourself, a year is a long time, and you will need health insurance, a SIN number will help. The job market in Alberta is booming and finding legal employment there with your credentials should not be a problem.
