Creating a My Services Canada Account account
You will need either:
- SIN number (Do not recommend choosing this at the beggining, I got errors)
- Birth Registration number
- Unique Client Identifier (UCI)
Then
- A bank account + SIN card number
- GCKey + SIN card number
- Provincial ID
I did it with bank account + SIN card number, when it asked to connect with Interact, I got an error. I don’t recommend that route.
I then chose Birth Registration number, filled in that and chose the SIN application number (from the Email).
