Yes, VCIB is collecting the SIN based on CRA requirements on the RC518 Declaration of Tax Residence for Individuals form.
Providing your SIN as part of the fully completed self-declaration form gives VCIB confirmation of your tax residency. If you complete the form declaring that you are solely a Canadian tax resident, VCIB does not have an obligation to report your information to CRA.
If you are reluctant to provide your SIN and provide an incomplete form, there is a possibility of follow up clarification and fines (assessed by the CRA) to the cardholder for failure to report.
