I live in Canada and have worked for this employer for over a year now and he his deducting Fed. Tax, E.I. and C.P.P..
I did get an Income Tax refund lat year but what I am worried about is how it's going to work out with my pensions and Insurance Benefits.

Does he deduct ANYTHING from your paycheck??? You see, as far as Social Security goes, your employer pays 1/2 and you pay 1/2. If the employer doesn't know your SS#, he cannot pay into your Social Security program and, therefore, he is putting in his pocket what he should be paying in for you. This helps him but sure deals misery to YOUR SS account.
If HE isn't paying his 1/2 and is still deducting Social Security payments from YOUR paycheck, he is making double money...YOURS and HIS. He is putting it in his pocket.
Sure, you will have more "take home pay" but in the end when you are ready to draw back from SS, you will have nothing OR if you go hurt and become disable......it would be bad. Check into the situation immediately. Pops.

You don't say what country you are from but if you are from the UK its a big problem.
Is he deducting social insurance from your pay - in that case he is stealing from you without giving you any of the benefits like -
pension above minimum
maternity pay above the minimum
certain types of unemployment and sick pay.
If he is not deducting it get him to do it.
The only exception i woud say is that if this is only a short term job and he is not deducting the money, it might be worth not bothering but if it is a proper job and if you have kids etc that rely on the income get it sorted pronto. An employer not bothered about NI for the staff is unlikely to be a good employer in the long run.
I think the situation in the USA is totally different.

If you got an income tax refund, you must have filled out a tax form. In fact in order to fill out the income tax forms you must have received a T-4 slip. I don't see how all that could have happened if your employer doesn't have your SIN number. You may not remmeber giving it to him. However, I would suggest you ask him about it.

No it will not. Infact your employer CAN ask for it and is the ONLY one who can ask for it. Having your SS# or SIN ensures that the taxes you pay (deducted from your check) actually go to the right place and are allotted to YOU and not someone else.
