Welcome to Flyertalk!

If you haven't actually flown yet, you can sign up for the airline's FF program, most allow online enrollment, and then call to add your number to the reservation. The miles should then post automatically (but always keep your BP and receipt until the miles show up in your account, in case there is a kink in the system).

If you're location is London, Ontario, I might assume you are looking to earn Aeroplan miles, and you can definitely enroll in the program online, just go to aeroplan.com. Once you have enrolled, call AC reservations, and they will add the number to your reservation. You may also be able to add this number online.
