Is your device locked to a previous carrier? You can ask them to unlock it for you. However, if your phone is asking for your SIM's PIN, try 1234.

I agree with @geopublic on this. Call your previous provider and have them unlock your phone. Or if its a Samsung you can contact Samsung Canada and have them unlock it. Most of the cases I have seen this is the issue, not the SIM card,
If your phone is newer than 2017 and bought in Canada it will not be locked by any Canadian providers.
Have a great day!

@shaniaheathen07 Are your sure it's the SIM and not your phone that needs to be unlocked? Public Mobile does not lock sim cards.

@shaniaheathen07 if this is a new activation and the first time you inserted your sim into the phone. It asked for a Sim unlock puk code. Then your phones locked to your previous provider. Ask them to unlock it for you. You will need your imei number dial *#06# to get it. If its a Samsung phone contact Samsung online and ask them to unlock it for you.
If you locked yourself out and it asked for a puk code. Then contact the moderators and ask them for it. There are 2 ways to contact the Moderator Team:

@shaniaheathen07 The default SIM PIN is 1234. What message are you getting?

@shaniaheathen07 It's unlikely you need a SIM PUK. Exactly what message do you get when rebooting with the SIM installed?
