Coverage and network
Honest about coverage
Canada mobile networks
Canada ranks 47th globally at 98 Mbps, and the big cities sit well above that. Coverage follows population, which in a country this size means dense along the southern corridor and sparse the moment you leave it.

Real Toronto conditions
- Downtown & the PATH: Strong 5G across the Financial District, Entertainment District and the waterfront. The PATH network underground is covered too, which matters in February.
- TTC subway: The subway now has cellular coverage across the network, so you keep signal between stations rather than dropping out mid-tunnel.
- Cottage country & the north: Coverage is solid up through Barrie and the Muskokas near the main highways, but thins on backroads and lakes. Head genuinely north of the populated corridor and expect long gaps.
One eSIM, the whole country
Toronto is just the start - this eSIM covers all of Canada. Keep the same plan for Montreal, Niagara, or Vancouver.

Before you buy, make sure your phone supports eSIM — see Ohayu compatible devices list or dial *#06#. It's a free request to your phone's settings. If you see the EID number — your phone is eSIM-compatible.

Frequently asked questions
Where to buy a SIM card in Toronto?
Pearson has electronics kiosks selling prepaid SIMs, and there are Rogers, Bell and Telus stores plus their prepaid brands (Fido, Koodo, Public Mobile) in the Eaton Centre and across downtown. Airport pricing is higher than in the city. A travel eSIM like Ohayu skips the shop: install before you fly and after landing it can connect you to supported networks like Rogers, Bell or Telus.
Do I need to show ID to buy a SIM card in Canada?
No. Canada is one of the few countries with no prepaid SIM registration law at all - no federal requirement to show ID, and nothing like the rules in Australia, Brazil or most of Europe. Staff sometimes ask anyway, out of habit or because a carrier wants it to open an account, but they are not obliged to.
The friction is elsewhere: some prepaid activation flows want a credit card with a Canadian billing address, and some want a Canadian address on file. An Ohayu plan is paid for before you travel with your own card, so neither comes up.
Does it work on the TTC subway?
Yes. Cellular coverage has been rolled out across the TTC subway network, so you keep a connection in the stations and in the tunnels between them.
Why isn't my eSIM working in Toronto?
The TTC subway is covered, but the older tunnel stretches still drop between stations. Otherwise look at which SIM is handling data. It needs to be Ohayu, with roaming allowed, followed by an Airplane mode toggle. Still stuck? chat and support@ohayu.com are open 24/7.
