SIM Card Registration & Activation Process for Tourists in Canada

Tourists in Canada must present valid government-issued photo identification, such as a passport, to register a SIM card. While not federally mandated, major mobile providers require ID verification to activate prepaid SIMs, primarily to ensure service legitimacy and prevent fraud. Registration is usually done in-store at the point of purchase, and no biometric data or photos are typically required. Once the ID is verified and the SIM is activated, it can be used immediately. Policies may vary slightly by carrier.
