Lived in Canada for 10+ years, but my new immigrant neighbors got a better phone plan than me. Here's how

Hey everyone, especially new and future Canadians! Quick story: I've been living in Canada for over a decade (in Montreal – Go Habs Go! lol), and I was just chatting with my new neighbors who recently immigrated.

I was shocked to find out they have way better internet and phone plans than I do. Obviously, I asked them how they managed that. They told me they used an immigration guide from a Canadian website called PlanHub.ca.

They were honest and said that while not every single part of the guide was useful, it was a massive help for understanding how things like mobile plans and internet work here. It was especially helpful for them as newcomers, since the system is probably very different from their home country. I thought this could be super helpful for others on this sub, so I wanted to share the link.

Here’s the guide they used

Hope this helps some of you!
