1. Yes. You will need mod assistance here though.

2. Yes. Walmart, London Drugs, Wow Mobile, K Mobile, The Mobile Shop (Loblaws/Superstore), some Koodo outlets and Public Mobile mail order.

all can be done online as self-service after I got the SIM? or, I need to go over counter?

It is suggested to sign-up with Public Mobile (PM) all online first and get a number. You could if you like use a store like Walmart to activate. Then when satisfied that it's all working then to port over the Koodo number. That part needs PM moderator assistance. The Koodo service needs to be active.

The MODs assistance is required with porting from Koodo Prepaid for some technical reason with Koodo and PM.

You can order a SIM mailed directly to your door via Canada Post - but there might be a work stoppage on Monday, so probably better to find a local retailer as suggested above.
