eSIM Travel Tips for Canada
Canada is outside the EU: check your Irish plan
Canada is outside the EU and Irish carrier EU roaming rules do not apply. A HelloRoam eSIM from $6.40 is typically far more affordable than international roaming add-ons from Eir, Three IE, or Vodafone IE for a Canadian trip.
Working Holiday Visa arrivals: data from day one
Many Irish people arrive in Canada on Working Holiday Visas and need data from the moment they land to find accommodation, jobs, and navigate their new city. A HelloRoam eSIM bridges the gap until you sort a local Canadian monthly plan with Rogers, Bell, or Freedom Mobile.
National Parks and wilderness: limited signal
Banff, Jasper, the Canadian Rockies, and northern wilderness areas have very limited mobile coverage. Download offline maps for any national park hiking, camping, or road trip plans before leaving the city.
Canadian cities have excellent transport apps
Toronto's TTC, Vancouver's TransLink, and Montreal's STM all have excellent apps for public transport. Your HelloRoam eSIM keeps these running in real time from the moment you clear customs at Pearson or Vancouver Airport.
The Trans-Canada Highway drops signal in remote stretches
Road trips across Canada are spectacular but the Trans-Canada Highway and other routes pass through vast stretches with no signal between towns. Download offline maps and save route information before setting out on long drives.
Mobile networks in Canada: what Irish visitors need to know
HelloRoam connects on Rogers Wireless, Bell, and Telus in Canada. All three are major national operators with excellent 5G networks in Canadian cities. Rogers has strong coverage in Ontario and Quebec. Telus dominates in western Canada. Bell covers the east well. Your eSIM picks the strongest signal automatically.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
