See eSIM plansWhat is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into most modern smartphones. Instead of inserting a plastic card, you scan a QR code and your Canadian phone line installs in three taps. It works on iPhones (XS and later), Samsung Galaxy (S20 and later), Google Pixel (3a and later), and many more devices.
For travellers heading to Canada, an eSIM is the fastest way to get connected. You order online, receive your QR code by email, and activate your Canada eSIM before you even board your flight. The moment you land, your Canadian number is live and ready for calls, texts, and data.
Why choose an eSIM for Canada?
Buying an eSIM for Canada before you fly solves the three biggest problems newcomers, students, and tourists face on arrival: expensive roaming charges, long airport SIM queues, and not having a phone number when you need one most.
