Get a Canadian SIM Card Before You Land
The first hour in Canada is hectic — customs, baggage, finding your ride, letting family back home know you made it. None of that should involve hunting for a SIM kiosk or paying airport roaming rates.
Your CanadianSIM plan is active 24 hours before your flight lands. You step off the plane with a working Canadian number — calls going through, data running, everything already set up. Not something you figure out at the airport. Something you sorted before you left.
Your Canadian journey starts with Canadian SIM card
Canada Wide Coverage
Canada Wide Coverage
CanadianSIM runs on Rogers — Canada’s largest network. Whether you’re landing at Pearson in Toronto, YVR in Vancouver, or YYC in Calgary, your plan is already active when you walk off the plane.
The Rogers network covers every major city and most of the country — Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax. You’re not on a regional network or a reseller patching together weak signals. You’re on the same infrastructure millions of Canadians use every day.
Canada’s largest and most reliable 5G network — reaching 37 million Canadians across more than 2,800 communities.
Did You Know…
Having a Canadian SIM & Phone Number helps you:
Get your SIN Number
With your improved credit score and SIM Card, any personal identification like health cards or drivers licenses will be easier to apply for.
Access healthcare
A good credit score, health card, and SIM card are essentials to applying for visas, PR and attaining your SIN.
Open a bank account
A Canadian Bank account starts with a Canadian SIM. You can build your credit the moment you land and apply for the necessary documents before you go.
Connect with your landlord
Finding and securing housing often requires quick communication with landlords. A local number allows you to schedule viewings, follow up on listings, and increase your chances of getting a response.

Frequently asked questions
Got a Question? We’re here to help!
What is the best SIM card for newcomers to Canada?
Our newcomer SIM plans are specifically designed for long-term stays, offering generous data (50GB to 100GB), unlimited Canada-wide calling, international texts, and no contracts—all starting from just $1/day.
Are there no-contract SIM plans?
Yes, all our newcomer SIM cards are prepaid and contract-free. You can cancel or top up anytime, with no commitments or penalties—perfect for newcomers.
What if I need help setting up?
We’ve got you covered. Our team is just a message away — reach out via email or WhatsApp anytime, and we’ll walk you through the process.
Can I order a Canadian SIM card from outside Canada?
Yes. CanadianSIM is specifically built for pre-arrival orders. You order from your home country — India, Nigeria, Philippines, UK, US, and 50+ others — before you fly. No Canadian history needed to sign up.
How do I get my SIM before arrival?
You can choose from three convenient options:
✔ eSIM installation for instant digital activation (recommended)
✔ Airport pickup at select Canadian airports upon arrival
✔ Physical SIM delivery to select international countries before your flight
Whichever you choose, your SIM will be activated 24 hours before arrival, so you’re connected the moment you land.
What is the difference between eSIM and physical SIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM that you install by scanning a QR code—no shipping or waiting required. A physical SIM is a traditional chip delivered to you or picked up at a Canadian airport. Both give you full access to our newcomer plans, but eSIM is the fastest way to connect.
Do the newcomer plans support eSIM?
Absolutely! All our student SIM plans are eSIM compatible. You can activate your plan digitally with no need for a physical SIM card—quick and hassle-free.
Does my postpaid plan help build Canadian credit?
Yes. Your monthly bill reports to Equifax and TransUnion — Canada’s two main credit bureaus. Consistent on-time payments build your credit file from month one, which you’ll need for renting an apartment, financing a car, or getting a Canadian credit card.
