No, nearly everybody here when hearing the term "social security number" ('solsiaaliturvatunnus') think about Finnish 'henkilötunnus' ('personal identity code") which indeed was once called 'sosiaaliturvatunnus'.
(But that was sometime when Urho Kekkonen was still a president of this country, and the badly outdated name might make some foreigners confusedly think that having the code entitles one to KELA benefits)

Well over 99% of the population of this country were not born in USA or Canada.
