[Seeiy]

yes, no roaming in Japan and hence you won't be able to receive 2FA text when you are there

All banks offers other ways to receive 2FA such as:

• RBC: App Push approval
• TD: SMS, Voice call, TD Authenticator  
• Scotia: App Push approval, SMS, Voice call
• BMO: SMS, Email
• CIBC/Simplii: App Push approval, SMS, Voice Call, Email
• National: SMS, Email
• Desjardins: App Push approval, SMS, Voice Call, Email
• Laurentian: SMS, Email

Check with your bank to see if you can change the 2FA the one that suit your need.  Anything that allows access with local Wifi or local data will work

That's correct. You should call your bank to see if they can send 2FA to your email instead of your cell.

You CANNOT use PM services in Japan or ANYWHERE else outside of this continent.

sorry, PM does NOT have roaming services in Japan.  In fact, PM only has roaming in US and Mexico and nowhere else

For data while you traveling, you will have to use local data sim or travel eSIM such as Airalo. 
For voice calls and SMS from friends, you can download VoIP app TextNow and use the app for that.  Make sure you setup TextNow before your trip.  You can even forward voice calls to the number provided by TextNow right before you leave Canada
For RCS and iMessage,  you can still send receive them with local data or Wifi.  But remember to enable PM sim and turn on Roaming for iMessage and RCS to work (the actual roaming services won't work, but enabling the sim and roaming allows iMessage/RCS to validate your phone number)
But if you are expecting 2FA from banks/email/businesses , you won't receive them while you travel without roaming.  You will need to arrange to change to receive via email or app ahead of your trip

Sorry, no roaming option in Japan at all

Public Mobile has no roaming options outside of Mexico or USA. You'd need to get a travel sim from airlo or someone else for use in Japan.
