Most travel eSIMs are data-only, so they do not give you a phone number and cannot receive texts sent to your Canadian number. To keep getting verification codes abroad, keep your Canadian line on in a dual-SIM phone with data roaming off, or move important accounts to an authenticator app, passkey or backup codes before you leave.
