To stay in touch in Canada, you will probable need an Internet connection. Here is some information to help you obtain it.

To obtain an Internet connection in Canada, you must determine which option suits you best. You can choose between telephone line, ADSL and cable. However, all these options are not available in all regions. After making your request to the service provider, you could wait a few days before having it installed.

If you live in an apartment which has already had an ADSL service in the past, the connection should not exceed 24 hours. If you have a laptop, you can access Wi-Fi against payment in several institutions such as airports, hotels and cafes. You can also go to an Internet cafe in your area. Telephone access to the Internet can cost $ 20 a month, or even less, including email addresses and website, among others.
