. "So I need to change my social insurance card because of the new last name... I had a doctor's appointment in the morning near the area so thought I could kill 2 birds with one stone by going to City Hall earlier. I checked their website and it said opened at 7:30! Perfect - I wouldn't need to take any extra time off work and just go get this done before my doctor's appointment.\n\nI arrived at City Hall just after 8... to find no one at Service Canada - but I thought City Hall opened at 7:30? there was no indication that different departments had alternate hours. So I see a sign at the front desk that says that starting January 3, 2012, the desk opens at.... 8:30!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you kidding me? What a waste of my time.\n\nWell luckily at 8:30, they did open their desk for inquiries and I was first in line. I bring my documents only to find out that AN ORIGINAL COPY of my citizenship card is required. I thought I had clearly read that only a copy was required but clearly I will take full fault for not reading Services Canada properly *FIST SHAKE*....At least the gentleman did seem apologetic although he was not able to use my copies as proof of identification.\n\nWhat I did find out is that you do not need to change your SIN card unless you leave your employment, or if you go on maternity leave... guess I can wait."^^ . .
