I was wondering why i received an email my apple account has been luck and every time I've sign in I was directed from my iphone to submit my personal information. However, I wonder why the ask Social Insurance Number and this ID is to be given only to the employer. Does your office did really ask about Social Insurance Number and why ? I am not applying for a job?

You received a scam/phishing email.
Apple won't send you an email/text telling you your account is disabled/restricted or will be disabled/restricted. You will find out the next time you try to log in somewhere.
Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you, not Dear Customer, Dear Client or by using your e-mail address. The e-mail will be from @apple.com or @iTunes.com. E-mail addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail/View/Message/Show all Headers to see more. Apple e-mails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information by email such as Social Security numbers, your Mother’s maiden name or full credit card numbers .
The only exception to the above I have noticed is if you order something from the Apple Store (apple.com), your receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer. That is a receipt for a purchase you initiated.

Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store
Send the e-mail to Apple as an attachment to a new e-mail before deleting it. You can forward as an attachment by going to Mail/Message/Forward as attachment. You won’t receive a response.
If you entered your Apple ID and password anywhere, change your password immediately.
You can also add 2 Factor Authentication to your account for more security. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.
