Rogers has a newcomer page for mobile and home internet, including a way to reserve a number and eSIM before you land. The English page we checked describes plan features and does not print a monthly price.

Permanent residents, Temporary workers, International students
ID Rogers lists: a passport plus a work or study permit, a permanent resident card, or a confirmation of permanent residence.
You can choose a plan and reserve a SIM and a Canadian number before you arrive, then pick up a phone at the airport through Rogers' partner flow.
Newcomer plans are described with 1,000 international long-distance minutes, unlimited international texting, and access to the Rogers 5G network.
Rogers says it also has exclusive discounts for newcomers. No dollar discount was printed on the English page we checked.
The same page points to Fido for month-to-month style plans and to chatr for prepaid with no credit check.
A Canadian number is one of the first practical problems, because banks, employers, and schools ask for one. Rogers is useful here because the pre-arrival eSIM path is described on the official newcomer page, not only on a blog. If the phone is locked, is not eSIM-compatible, or is an older Android, Rogers says the online eSIM activation can fail and a store will finish it.
We are deliberately not listing a monthly price. A French-language offers page has shown dollar amounts in the past, and those change. Use the English newcomer page and a store quote on the day you sign. Rogers also mentions home internet and the Red Mastercard on this page. The card is a separate listing.
Who it is for
Bring the ID combination Rogers lists. Coverage and 5G access depend on where you live and on the phone's bands. Rogers publishes the bands on the same page.
How to act on it
Reserve online before you fly if you want a number waiting, or go to a Rogers store with your passport and status document.
Bell's current bring-your-own-phone page lists in-market prices, including a 100 GB plan shown at $60 a month and an unlimited plan with U.S. and Mexico shown at $75. These are not labelled as newcomer discounts.
chatr is the Rogers prepaid brand. On Rogers' own newcomer page it is described as no credit check, no term contract, and no commitment, with nationwide 4G.
Koodo's newcomer page is the flanker brand's version of the TELUS Canoo partnership. It promises deals for newcomers and does not list a plan price on the page we checked.
