Mobile network coverage in Canada

Bell and Telus 5G cover Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, and the Trans-Canada Highway corridor, with reliable data for ride-hailing, WhatsApp, and Google Maps. Signal holds in the major cities and inside the YYZ and YVR airport terminals, drops on the remote sections of the Trans-Canada Highway through Northern Ontario, and weakens in the Canadian Rockies through Banff and Jasper where the mountain valleys block the line of sight to the nearest antenna.

Get a Presto card for Toronto transit - it'll save you from fumbling for cash on the subway

In Vancouver, the SkyTrain to the airport costs about $9 CAD - way cheaper than a taxi

Check the weather app before visiting Niagara Falls - the mist makes the viewing platforms slippery
