Mobile/SIM
Canadian mobile plans are notoriously expensive. Many US plans include Canada roaming (verify first). Otherwise, buy a prepaid SIM from Koodo, Chatr, or Lucky Mobile - plans start around CAD$35 for limited data. Freedom Mobile is cheaper but coverage is limited. Public WiFi is widely available.
Getting There
Main Airports
Calgary (YYC) · Montreal (YUL) · Toronto (YYZ) · Vancouver (YVR)

Local Transport

Culture & Travel Tips
Best Time to Visit
June-August for warm weather. December-March for skiing. Fall for foliage.
Cultural Notes
Canadians are famously polite and multicultural. Both English and French are official languages, with French dominant in Quebec. Hockey is the national obsession. Tim Hortons is a cultural institution. Canadians will apologize even when you bump into them. Indigenous reconciliation is an ongoing national conversation.
Insider Tips
Canada is huge - don't underestimate distances. Flying between major destinations often makes more sense than driving. The NEXUS card is worthwhile for frequent US-Canada travelers. Tipping culture is identical to the US (15-20%). Try poutine, butter tarts, and Nanaimo bars. Winter can be extreme - pack accordingly. Learn a few French phrases for Quebec.
Dress Code
Casual dress fine. Winter clothing essential in cold months.
