We would like to make few suggestions/recommendations if you have recently arrived in Canada as International student.
Apply for a SIN number
It is a common question from an international students where they should they apply for a SIN (Social insurance number) on airport or online or Service Canada. We would recommend applying at airport if service is available. Due to COVID, Service Canada recommend applying for SIN online. SIN is of the most important document, you should apply it as soon as possible.

Choosing a mobile service provider
You should choose the mobile service provider wisely. Most of the service providers run promotions throughout the year. If you already have a good phone, go for BYOP (Bring Your Own Plan), which is usually more affordable. Adding an expensive phone to your plan could increase monthly cost.
