Scarborough/Markham SIN Application/Renewal

There is a new Service Canada office at Steels and Warden which is very accessible to people living in this area ie.Steels and Warden, Woodbine, Victoria, Pharmacy. The office is called "

Markham Scheduled Outreach Site" 3636 Steeles Ave. E. , Suite 223 Markham, Ontario




Driving direction: This is in a mall which is towards the west from Warden and Steels and it is at east of Victoria or Pharmacy. This mall is at the east of IBM campus at Steels. As soon as you enter the mall climb up/ take the elevator to the first floor, the tough part is there will not be any clear name plates or sign boards to point you to this office. But you will soon locate this office which is just in front of the main staircase in the first floor.

The office is open every Wednesdays and Fridays and working hours are 9 am to 3 pm in these two days of the week. Though people say we can go with an appointment, till today it is just a walk-in center and no appointments are given. If you go a little before 9 am, you may be the first 10 to register for the services and you will get your SIN renewed/applied in just 1 hr or at the max within 2hrs.

Dubai - November 2022

  As I landed onto Terminal 3 of Dubai international airport, the first impression I got off the enormous facility was that it’s sheer size and scale, which is quite obvious when you walk into the world’s second largest building by usable floor space. What I didn’t know then is that Dubai airport is the world’s busiest in terms of volume of international passengers that fly by. I have actually flown through Dubai almost 13 years ago when I had a transit stop in this airport, but I failed to notice the vastness of the facility possibly because I was tired from a 13 hour flight from Toronto. Another interesting observation (purely anecdotal) was 3 out of every 5 staff members at the airport seem to belong to a south Asian(India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh) lineage and I noticed that there is abundance of workforce engaged in the upkeep of the airport, I even felt that they were overstaffed at times. Later I learnt that the airport contributes to over 25% of the Emirate’s ...

Reading Notes : Inner Engineering - A Yogi's Guide to JOY

Though I am not onboard with "someone who calls himself as Sadhguru" type practice, I never was able to come up with a logical anti-argument on any points/ideas that Mr Jaggi brings about in his speech and interviews. Infact there are many points for which, I could only get logical explanations from Mr Jaggi on some of the preached practices in India. The most recent example was "why beef eating is seen as a less-human act" and his explanation to that kind of made sense. One idea that I could never buy into whole-heartedly, was this concept of  "Inner Engineering". Due to the lack of knowledge or lack of evidence that it would work and it's a viable practice. I was keenly following on this topic, as frankly I fancy being able to sit in a place, controlling and cultivating my inner energies for hours not knowing the time is passing by. It's that curiosity that made me do two things in addition to watching all his speeches on the topic. 1. Enrol fo...

Reading notes : Ikigai - The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life

It was an easy, 1 day read. I felt that there are a lot of quotes and research-based findings and some of them are from the research conducted by the authors but most of them are quoted from others.  One thing though, my eagerness and a long time wish to visit Japan has now grown multi-fold and apart from Tokyo and Osaka, I now want to visit the province of Okinawa, where for every 100,000 people, about twenty-five of them live over the age of 100. Also, I want to visit the town of Ogimi, which is nicknamed as the "Town of longevity". I also wanted to visit Mr. Jiro’s sushi bar at the Ginza subway station, which is a Michelin 3-star sushi place with no branches elsewhere. When I read about the essence of Ikigai, which is "the happiness of always being in a flow, being busy", I related this to father-in-law, who is 77 years old widower, who insists on living by himself and is always in a quest to do some gardening, construction project or other. He has no serious h...
