Internet in Canada: everything you need to know
Canada has 94% internet penetration and over 99% 4G/5G mobile coverage (source: ITU DataHub, 2024). An eSIM connects to Rogers, Bell or Telus the moment you land at YYZ, YUL or YVR, with no carrier-kiosk queue. Canadian local plans are among the priciest globally, so a travel eSIM is usually far cheaper.
- ●4G/5G coverage in all major cities (Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa, Québec, Halifax) and along Trans-Canada highways ; weaker in national parks (Banff, Jasper, Algonquin) beyond the main roads and none in the Far North.
- ●Average mobile speed ~90–110 Mbps download per Ookla (Q1 2025): among the world's best.
- ●No Western services blocked: Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, X, YouTube and Netflix work normally.
- ●Great for Uber, Lyft (Vancouver/Toronto), DoorDash, Google Maps, the Tim Hortons app and RBC / TD / BMO banking.
