What works in Canada

Canada⚠️ Some limits

Everything works. The only quirk: news from media outlets is not shown on Facebook and Instagram in Canada.

Getting round via a roaming eSIM: We found no reliable source that a roaming eSIM bypasses local blocks. We have not checked whether a tourist sees news on Facebook via a roaming eSIM (foreign IP)

What to do

• Install and sign in to the apps you need at home: WhatsApp, Telegram, Privat24, monobank, Diia, Maps. Some app stores and sites may not open in the country.
• Keep your Ukrainian SIM in the phone with roaming on: bank SMS come to it. Switch data to the eSIM and turn off «Data roaming» on the Ukrainian SIM.
• About Tutu eSIM, honestly: Tutu eSIM is data only, without a number. Normal calls and SMS go through your Ukrainian SIM at roaming rates. So where calls in messengers are blocked, the eSIM alone won't open them.
