When you get back to Canada, is there someone picking you up at the airport? Or are you staying with family? If so, can that person buy a SIM card, set up a plan for you, and when you arrive all you'll need to do is pop the SIM in your phone.

Thank you, I will give you my address. But I would be happy to reimburse you (paypal?, money order?) for your help. I still have about 4-6 weeks before I really need to have this ready so there is some time.

Thank you, unfortunately out of touch with Canadian friends but I will try your other suggestions...

I have one that I can ship you at no charge. I am not sure how long it would take to get there but if this is something you would consider private message me and I will give you my email address to contact me

Maybe, but they also tagged a moderator so...
I think more info like where they are located, what’s their timeline, why do they want one, etc would be super helpful.

@mtfolks I think they know the official channels but are looking for an "out of the box" workaround.

Since you say you already know what the answer to your question seems to be are you able to offer more info on what you are trying to accomplish? You may get a better answer that will help you achieve your goal.

Maybe try a mail package forwarding service.

@safia_gravel If you have a friend in Canada, you can ask them to buy a sim card & ship it to you. Or you can go to EBay or Amazon looking to see anyone is selling it so you can buy 🙂 hope that helps

Thank you, but I know that and this is precisely the reason that I am asking!

Public Mobile SIMs are only delivered to Canadian addresses. They can be purchased at many Walmarts, WoW Mobile and K Mobile locations in Canada.
