There can still be a delay even if you set up new service with a new number (no number port with an old number). Usually takes only a few minutes, or maybe a few hours, but could be a full business day or two.
Until the network (all the Canadian networks) and registries and billing stuff are all synced up therr could be malfunctioning sergice on your phone number (although local calling almost always works properly right away).
Just restart your phone every hour or two (just to be sure) and it'll sort itself out.
Don't forget to configure your Operator/Carrier/Network (as "auto" or "Public Mobile") and your APN Settings (Public Mobile APN Settings, to use cellular data and attachments). If you have an older devicr with an older operating system you might also have to manually configure your voicemail number.
