Social Insurance Number (SIN) Help

• Your SIN is required on all income tax forms. Lakeland provides a T2202 form to both you and the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA). CRA requires Lakeland to submit details for all of our students about eligible tuition fees and months of instruction.
• If you claim deductions for attending post-secondary education, this information is used to validate your tax return. 
• If you are receiving an award, scholarship or bursary from Lakeland College, it's important to provide your SIN as you will be issued a T4A tax form.

If you don’t have a social insurance number or don’t know what your number is, you can skip entering it or provide it later. As a reminder, you will be asked to provide your SIN every time you log in until this task is completed.

We strongly recommend that you do this on a laptop or desktop computer as this page isn’t configured for a mobile device.

Log into My Lakeland.

Select the SIN Entry Tile.

In the box, enter your social insurance number.  Don’t add spaces or dashes.  A SIN has just 9 digits. 

Click on Add.

The program will run a validation check on the SIN you have entered.  If the number entered doesn’t meet the criteria provided by the federal government, you’ll see this error message:
