Yes @gblackma proves a good point. Make sure it is unlocked. You can contact your previous carrier if you were with one to unlock your phone. Endless your phone was bought unlocked

The SM-A530W isn't locked. It was only sold in Canada as unlocked and by carriers as unlocked. This is also a model that never self locked to the first carrier, although the personalization procedure does cause a factory reset without warning the first time that the first carrier's sim card is inserted.

Yes, it's 100% compatible. This is the same version of the Galaxy A8 (2018) that Telus sells.
