Arrival guide

Is there free WiFi at Pearson Airport?

Yes, Pearson has free WiFi, but you have to log in and it can be busy at peak times. With your eSIM already installed, you can book a ride or message family right away.

Should I buy a SIM card at Toronto airport?

You can, but airport prices are often higher and there may be a line after a long flight. Ordering before you fly means your number is ready for forms, and you are online the moment you land.

Which network works best in Toronto?

Rogers, Fido and Chatr all use the Rogers network, which covers Toronto and the GTA well. The difference between them is price and extras, not signal.
