Canada eSIM FAQs
Using a travel eSIM trumps roaming in Canada - here’s a quick rundown:
Significant Savings: Pay local Canada rates instead of exorbitant roaming prices set by your home carrier.
Convenient Switching: No swapping SIM cards - manage everything digitally from your phone settings.
Usage Clarity: Get real-time updates on data consumption, so you never get billed for data you didn’t need.
Your Canada eSIM is designed for use within Canada, so once it's been activated there, it won’t work in other countries.
If you're visiting multiple destinations, a better option might be one of our regional Travel eSIMs that cover entire regions like Europe or Asia.
Traditional calls and SMS aren’t part of our Canada eSIM packages - they’re strictly data provision. To talk or text, use internet - based services (WhatsApp, Signal, etc.) with your eSIM data.
Your eSIM will activate automatically once you arrive in Canada. We advise installing your Canada Travel eSIM before you travel (installation is distinct from activation).
To install, just scan the QR code we send or install via the ZenSim app over WiFi. On landing in Canada, the eSIM will switch on by itself.
If you have any problems, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us 😊
Definitely! ZenSim supports eSIM usage in over 200 countries, so Canada is covered. If you need multi-country coverage, take a look at our regional eSIM options on the Travel eSIMs page.
No, the Canada eSIM is data - only and excludes voice/SMS numbers. You’ll have to rely on data - based messaging platforms like WhatsApp or Telegram for calling.
Connection Problems: If your Canada eSIM isn’t loading data, check our troubleshooting post. If that doesn’t do it, contact us and we’ll get you fixed up.
Installation Questions: Need help installing your eSIM? Visit our how-to guide, or shoot us a message at Contact Us and we’ll sort it out.
Anything Else: Got other queries? Visit our contact page and we’ll be right with you.
Of course. You can install your Canada eSIM up to 30 days before departure. Once you arrive, it will activate automatically.
Installing early won’t use any data or start your plan until you arrive in Canada.
If your iPhone shows an activation error during pre-install, you can ignore often it - refer to our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for help.
Yes, you can. Around 99 percent of our eSIMs allow quick and easy top ups through the ZenSim app. You can add more data, increase the days, or even include a different destination on the same eSIM right from the Zen Garden.
Open the app, go to the Zen Garden area, and you’ll see the top up button waiting for you.
Travelling for a while: If your trip lasts more than 30 days, you can queue multiple top ups. None of them will interrupt your current plan because each one only activates when the previous eSIM expires.
Travelling to more destinations: Most eSIMs let you attach extra countries via a top up. For example, if you're heading home from Europe and stopping in Singapore, you can add Singapore to your Europe eSIM and it will switch on once you arrive.
Once you arrive in Canada, your eSIM activates automatically if it’s already installed.
If you install it after arriving, the eSIM will activate and begin working immediately.
For any setup or connection problems, refer to our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact our support.
No - the plan’s data and days only start when you arrive in Canada. Installation beforehand simply sets it up for activation on landing.
We recommend installing before departure since you will need WiFi to complete the installation process and this way you will be connected as soon as you land.
If you need help connecting, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or reach out to us.

Top 3 Things to Do in Canada
1. Visit Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls, located on the border between Canada and the USA, is one of the most famous natural wonders in the world. The Canadian side offers the best views of the Horseshoe Falls, which are illuminated at night in stunning colours. Take a boat tour with Niagara City Cruises to experience the power of the falls up close, or enjoy the view from the Skylon Tower. Niagara Falls is a must-see destination for visitors to Canada.
2. Explore Banff National Park
Banff National Park, located in Alberta, is a breathtaking destination filled with turquoise lakes, towering peaks, and abundant wildlife. Hike the trails around Lake Louise, take a scenic drive along the Icefields Parkway, or soak in the Banff Upper Hot Springs. In winter, the park transforms into a wonderland for skiing and snowboarding. Banff’s natural beauty makes it one of Canada’s top travel destinations.
3. Discover Old Quebec
Old Quebec, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a charming historic district that feels like stepping into Europe. Wander through cobblestone streets lined with 17th- and 18th-century buildings, visit the iconic Château Frontenac, or enjoy a leisurely meal in one of the many bistros. The Plains of Abraham and Citadelle of Quebec offer a glimpse into the region’s history. Old Quebec is a cultural treasure that showcases Canada’s French heritage.
