First advise, get local SIM. I used Three (3) network before.
And you want to receive incoming calls? Get VoIP app TextNow. You will get to pick a local Canadian 10 digits number when you join. Forward your PM number over before you go for the trip. Your friends will then able to call your PM number and you will receive those calls on your TextNow (as long as you have Mobile Data or Wifi0
For outgoing, of course, you can use your TextNow to call back home (or even US) for free
Text, unfortunately there is nothing you can do. Actually, there are ways to forward text but I think quiet some effort, not worth it. Just give your friend the Textnow number and you will receive your text.
2FA is another trouble one. Your TextNow won't receive 2FA code (unless you pay a fee, not cheap). So, change 2FA for all the important services (bank, email...) before you go. Change them to email (easy but not good choice), or voice call to your PM number (it will still work as you have forwarded your incoming calls to TextNow). But the best method is to use Authenticator App if the services allow that.
Lastly, forget Canada bain sult as do thuras 🙂
