Bought an Orange “Holiday Zen” esim (phone, text and data) from simoptions.com back in Sept and it worked great. Bought in the US and activated on the plane upon landing without any issues. Also bought a separate data only plan from Airalo as a backup. ($5). Didn‘t need it but it also worked...
I was recently researching something similar (Although I’m not coming from Canada). Start by checking online for “Holafly” and that will start to give you ideas about the possibilities. Good luck!

Columbia Silver Ridge convertible pants - best ever! Wore them for the entire Camino and have been wearing them for 6 years now. Quick drying, light weight, long lasting, comfortable and can convert to shorts And back again in a heartbeat. Available on Amazon, at Rei, or Columbia stores.
