Hi, I'm currently outside the country, can I receive the text message from Canada if I'm in China?

sorry, to get text outside of Canada, you need roaming service. But PM does not provide roaming service in any countries other than US or Mexico

if you are waiting for 2FA, you need to call your bank to arrange to change to other way to receive , like via email

if you are waiting for text from friends, you need to ask them to use WeChat to talk to you via the app

@Yolandaaaaaaaaa

You can also use WhatsApp if all parties have this app.

@BKNS27

I didn't suggest Whatsapp because it is blocked in China

My spouse parent and family was in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam for a family trip and WhatsApp was working fine but not sure if it works in China.
