The best way to communicate with friends and family is to set up Signal or WhatsApp app on your phone and contacts. Get a local SIM card with data when you arrive at your destination. Very simple setup to sign into your Signal or WhatsApp account using your new local SIM and start communicate with your friends and family. They don't know that you left Canada.

If you don't want to get a local SIM, you can continue to use your PM SIM card to communicate with friends and family using free wifi connection over Signal or WhatsApp.

If you need to use 2FA while you are away, you can install Fongo app on your phone. I tested with my Fongo number to receive 2FA from my bank over the Internet suign WiFi or local SIM data connection.

I use Fongo app to check my PM voice mail without using my monthly plan minutes.

Fongo mobile is not always guaranteed to be able to be used with 2FA services.

I setup fongo app for myself and other family members, and mine does work for 2FA perfectly fine, but 2 others I created for my "kids" do not. Not an issue for them, but just something to be aware of.

Would be great if PM adds WiFi calling to their services. That way, you'd be able to use it anywhere you had WiFi at least.

@Mary_smiley

Agree. Are your kids using different bank from your?

I am aware of some bank 2FA does not work with Fongo.

No, all at the same bank.
