If you do not have a SIN
If you don't have a SIN, we will also accept:

Registering with a provincial partner allows you to get immediate access to your CRA account with the same credentials you already own.
You can register with your provincial partner even if you have not filed your taxes in the last 2 years.
If you use a BC Services Card, you will not be required to enroll in multi-factor authentication (MFA).
