Barry,

SIN numbers starting with a 9 means (foreign worker or on a temporary status).

Once you become a PR your SIN number will change.
Don´t get me wrong, you could get a mortgage but it is going to take a little bit more of time and perhaps more $$$ since there is no reason for the bank to believe that you have a permanent job and they know that your visa could expire too.
