Before you go

Get set up for Canada

Banking

Open a local account soon after you arrive in Canada so you can get paid and skip foreign-card fees. Most banks let you start the application online before you land.

Mobile & connectivity

Set up a Canada number or eSIM for data and calls. The major networks have the widest coverage; budget MVNOs run on the same towers for less.
