TELUS publishes newcomer Welcome mobility plans starting at $65 a month, and says a store will accept a valid passport or proof of landed immigrant status.
Some links may earn us a commission. How we make money.
The $65 figure is the one number TELUS prints at the top of its newcomer page. It is a starting price, not a quote for a specific data bucket. Data amounts, contract length, and any autopay discount were not in the block we could read, so they are omitted. Ask for the current Welcome plan sheet in store and keep a copy.
The same page still mentions an old referral credit that required activation by October 31, 2024. We are not treating that credit as available. If a salesperson offers a referral bill credit, ask them to show a current terms page. TELUS mobility is sold across much of the country, but rural coverage is a separate question from the newcomer price.
TELUS aims the page at people immigrating or coming to study. The ID it names for in-store verification is a passport or proof of landed immigrant status. Students and workers should ask which permit documents the store accepts, because the sentence we saw is narrower than a work permit.
Bring your phone and your ID to a TELUS store and ask for the newcomer Welcome plans. Confirm the $65 plan still exists that day.
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.
