It's pretty much the same in Canada. I never seen it used for anything outside of the tax context.

This is because it's illegal to require a Canadian to provide their SIN, unless the use is on the list of exceptions [1].

One can still ask a Canadian for their SIN for reasons not on that list, but it is illegal to refuse service for not providing a SIN [2].
