Interesting point about your Social Security Number... In Canada, the similar Social Insurance Number can, by law, only be used for federal tax and pension purposes. Only banks, which give taxable interest, can ask you for your SIN. Nobody else! Thirty years ago I worked for a company that used your SIN as their employee number - naturally it showed up on lots of open documents; They can't do that anymore, it makes identity theft too easy.
