Lost my birth certificate and SIN what do I do ?

I applied for college and I need a SIN number to finish my application and I lost my SIN number, if I try apply for my SIN card again i ll need my birth certificate and I don t have any of these, does any one know where I can start to get these ?

Update:

I stay in Saskatchewan

Update 2:

"You recent immigrant????" I believe that you got a little bit worried there but don't worry I/We can get this sorted out, I realized that I memorized my SIN from my Co-Workers and Boss a bit but I'll call some people and they can tell me what needs to be done. Thanks for the details though.

    I stay in Saskatchewan. This is important WHY?

    WHERE YOU BORN? Get New Birth Certificate from there.

    Seriously you do not remember your SIN. Paid any Income Tax. Opened a Bank Account. Applied for a student loan?

    To apply for a Social Insurance Number (SIN), to request a confirmation of your SIN or to amend your SIN record, you must provide primary documents that prove your identity and legal status in Canada.

    SIMPLE

    GET YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE replaced. or dig through your stuff and find your NUMBER.

    Call the government office that handles SIN numbers and ask them what you need to do.
