We strongly recommend activating your WestESIM before you depart for Canada. You can easily install the eSIM profile while still at home. Its validity period will only commence once it connects to a Canadian network upon your arrival. This proactive approach ensures you bypass unreliable airport Wi-Fi, avoid unexpected roaming charges immediately upon landing, and can promptly access essential services like ordering an Uber or checking public transport schedules at Toronto (YYZ) or Vancouver (YVR). Start your trip connected and stress-free.
