The short answer
Six travel eSIMs sell a Canada plan and get most of the traffic for this search. I priced all six on the same day, for a long weekend at Niagara, two weeks from Toronto to Quebec City or through the Rockies, and a month, and I read the fine print on unlimited. Mobile data costs more in Canada than in Europe or Asia, and every price here shows it. Here is where I would buy each one.
Unlimited data at full speed for 2 weeks at $32.99 or 30 days at $57.99, nothing renews. Ubigi asks $39 for 15 days and $69 for the month, Airalo $44.01 and $80.99.
10 GB for 30 days at $17, and 3 days of unlimited at $18, 2 GB a day at full speed, on Rogers and Freedom Mobile. Airalo is 39 cents cheaper for 3 days, at $17.61.
5 GB a day at full speed, then 2 Mbps: 7 days for $29, 15 days for $39. On Bell, Telus, Freedom, SaskTel and Videotron.
Days, not gigabytes, on Bell and Telus, no daily cap stated for your own phone. $36.50 for a week; sharing limited to 1 GB a day.
Prices read on 10 November 2026: Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi on their own sites or listings, Ringo Light from its catalogue. All in US dollars unless stated. Treat every number as a snapshot.

What to do in Canada, and what your phone needs for it
Eight places most first trips include, from Toronto and Niagara to Montreal and Quebec City, across to Banff, the Icefields Parkway and Vancouver, and out to the Atlantic at Peggy's Cove, with the one thing your data does for you at each. The cities have good 4G and 5G on every network; the mountain roads do not.
If you want unlimited for two weeks or a month: Ringo Light
Canada is big, and most trips are long: a week in Toronto and Montreal, then a flight west to the Rockies or Vancouver. For about two weeks of unlimited, I found Ubigi at $39, Saily at $43.99, Airalo at $44.01 and Holafly at $50.50, all for 15 days. Nomad stops at 10 days for $35. For a month, the range is $69 to $95.90. Ringo Light charges $12.99 for 7 days, $32.99 for 2 weeks and $57.99 for 30 days, and nothing renews.
Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo and Saily give 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Nomad gives 2 GB a day. Ubigi gives 5 GB a day, then 2 Mbps, the most full-speed data of the six. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed for the whole 7 days, 2 weeks or 30 days. That is the line I read first.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day plan, but its 7 days at $12.99 costs less than Airalo's 3 days at $17.61 and Nomad's at $18, and less than any rival's week, from Airalo at $28.87 to Holafly at $36.50.
Which network works best in Canada
Canada has three national networks, Bell, Rogers and Telus, and Bell and Telus share much of theirs. Freedom Mobile covers the big cities of Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, Videotron is strongest in Quebec, and SaskTel in Saskatchewan. Any of them works in Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City, Calgary and Vancouver, so I would not choose a plan on network alone for the cities.
Outside the towns, coverage ends fast. The Icefields Parkway between Lake Louise and Jasper has long stretches with no signal on any network, and so do the back roads of the national parks and the north. Ubigi names five networks and switches between them; Airalo names Bell, Holafly Bell and Telus, Nomad Rogers and Freedom. Whatever I bought, I would download offline maps before driving into the mountains.
If you want a data bucket: Nomad or Ubigi
- Nomad, $17 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB for 30 days, and 20 GB at $31, on Rogers and Freedom Mobile.
- Ubigi, $19 for 10 GB. On five networks. Its 20 GB is $21 a month but renews each month until you cancel; 25 GB once for 30 days is $39.
- Airalo, $23 for 10 GB. Its Canada Mobile plan on Bell, 20 GB for $37. Airalo also sells a Canada plan with a local +1 number for calls and texts, 10 GB for 30 days at $31.
- Saily, $30.99 for 10 GB. 20 GB at $43.99, read on saily.com today.
- ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. The 2 weeks is unlimited for $32.99 and the 30 days unlimited for $57.99. For a fixed amount of data, Nomad, Ubigi and Airalo are all cheaper in Canada, Nomad by $15.99 for 10 GB. I would buy Ringo Light for unlimited, not for a bucket, and I would rather you read that here than at checkout.
What Ringo Light is
Ringo Light is the data eSIM Ringo sells to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. I write for Ringo, so weigh that. For Canada it sells three trips, all unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 7 days at $12.99, 2 weeks at $32.99 and 30 days at $57.99. Nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
It is the cheapest unlimited for two weeks or a month in Canada, and I would buy it for either trip. The card to buy it is further up this page, just after the side-by-side table.
Pick by trip
Airalo unlimited, 3 days, $17.61, or Nomad at $18. Ringo Light sells no 3 days.
Ringo Light 7 days at $12.99, unlimited data at full speed. Ubigi's 7 days is $29, 5 GB a day on five networks, $16.01 more.
I would buy Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $32.99, less than any rival charges for two weeks.
Nomad 10 GB for 30 days at $17.
I would buy Ringo Light unlimited, 30 days, $57.99.
None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.
