SIM Card for Travel to Canada

Travelling to Canada for 2-3 weeks early next year. Any ideas on what is the best SIM card to get (mainly for data, say 2-5GB)?

Good luck, Canadian data is ridiculously expensive.
When my daughter was there on exchange last year the cheapest option was Koodo.
I would consider Vodafone $5 roaming, as Canada has been added, or possibly some US and Mexican SIMs that allow Canadian roaming.

  My friend is paying $40/month for 600mb data….I just don't understand it. Canada is so forward with many things but when it comes to data …

Buy a US AT&T simcard here before you leave, they'll work in Canada.

I normally pick up one with unlimited data.

  Is this something yo ucan do if you live in Canada? Just buy the US Sim and use it every day without issue?

    Yah, most people I know got their sim cards in America and just top up each month.
    
    Canadian telcos charge about $80 for 1GB plan with unlimited sms and 300mins of calls, or $120 for 4GB with unlimited calls…..
