Honest about coverage
Canada mobile networks
Canada measures 98 Mbps nationally and ranks 47th, with Montreal above the average. The useful detail here is underground rather than national - the Métro and the RÉSO both carry a signal.

Real Montreal conditions
- Downtown, Plateau & Old Montreal: Strong 5G across the centre, the Plateau, Mile End and the old port. Good coverage on Mont Royal too, at least on the main paths.
- Métro & the Underground City: The Métro has coverage across the network, and the RÉSO underground city is well served - which you will appreciate in January when you can walk kilometres without going outside.
- Laurentians & Eastern Townships: Weekend trips north to the Laurentians or east to the Townships are covered along the main routes and in the towns, thinning on the smaller mountain roads.
One eSIM, the whole country
Montreal is just the start - this eSIM covers all of Canada. Keep the same plan for Quebec City, Toronto, or Ottawa.

Frequently asked questions
Where to buy a SIM card in Montreal?
There are Rogers, Bell and Telus stores plus Fido and Koodo in the Eaton Centre and along Sainte-Catherine, and Vidéotron is a strong local option. A travel eSIM like Ohayu saves the trip: install before you fly and after landing it can connect you to supported networks like Rogers, Bell or Telus.
Can I buy a prepaid SIM here without paperwork?
Yes as far as the law goes - there is no Canadian SIM registration requirement. The catch is the payment step, where some prepaid activations insist on a Canadian card or address. Note too that Québec carriers will serve you in French by default, which is fine but slower if you are not.
Does it work on the Métro and in the Underground City?
Yes to both. The Métro has coverage across the network, and the RÉSO underground city is well served - genuinely useful in a Montreal winter when you might spend an hour walking underground between buildings.
Why isn't my eSIM working in Montreal?
The Métro and the RÉSO are covered; the longest tunnel runs can still dip. Beyond that: Ohayu set for mobile data, roaming on, Airplane mode toggled. If the connection still will not come up, chat and support@ohayu.com are open 24/7.
