BTW, you don't think a SSN is needed for tax reasons? boggle


Not at the time a person is *applying* for a job, no, it's not needed for tax reasons.


In Canada it is - the income tax, Canada Pension and health tax
with-holding is tied to the SIN. That is ALL it is legally used for


And you need that to *apply* for a job? Wow. Here, it's not needed (for tax purposes, at
least) until the employee is actually hired.
