What Our Customers Say
Don't just take our word for it
"I bought a 30-day eSIM in advance for a holiday in Nova Scotia and can only say that that was the best decision I made for the whole trip. That only became clear 3 days after arrival when, on collecting the hire car I had booked with GPS, I was informed that it only had bluetooth connection to a mobile phone for navigation. That 30-day eSIM saved me a lot of money and anger, which would have spoiled a great holiday."
"I recently ordered an eSIM from Canadiansim for my upcoming September holidays, and the experience so far has been excellent. Looking forward to using the service during my trip. So far, highly recommended!"
"Used canadasim for me and my family, when travelling to Canada and I can recommend it to everyone travalling to Canada. Just add an eSIM on your phone and you don't have care about data consumption and costs. Especially with teenagers, is this a great advantage. Coverage at my locations was very good (East of Canada) and the process easy and straightforward."
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM card built into your phone — no physical SIM required. Just scan the QR code we email you and you're good to go.
-
When should I activate my eSIM?
You can choose to install your eSIM either before your flight or once you arrive in Canada. If you install it before flying, just keep mobile data turned off until you land. Once in Canada, connect to Wi-Fi, scan the QR code, and you’ll be ready to go within minutes.
-
How do I receive the eSIM?
After you complete your purchase, we’ll email you a QR code with step-by-step installation instructions within 24 hours of your arrival date in Canada. This ensures your eSIM is ready for activation as soon as you land.
-
Do I need a special app to use CanadianSIM eSIM?
Nope! There's no app required. Everything is done through your phone's built-in settings — quick and easy.
-
Is my phone compatible with eSIM?

iPhone: Go to Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) > Add eSIM. If you see “Add eSIM” or “Add Cellular Plan,” your device is compatible.
Android (Samsung): Go to Settings > Connections > SIM card manager. If you see “Add eSIM,” your device supports it.Alternatively you can also try the following:
- On your phone, dial *#06#.
