Recommendations on SIM and plan for visitor?

I have a friend visiting for 6 months from Europe. Does anyone have good recommendations for an inexpensive SIM or phone plan for a smart phone? 

Thanks for advice! 

 

7-11 speakout or Petro Canada mobility.

.combine that with WhatsApp or Fongo for wifi calls

Check out an app called TextNow.  It's free and you can choose an actual phone number... text and call via cellular rather than app to app.  This app changed my life when I decided I couldn't justify paying $60+ a month for a phone plan I barely used.  You do need wifi, but there are tons of hot spots around town... epecially if you have Shaw Go.  There are ads, but you can update to premium for a pretty reasonable price and get rid of them.  The ads really aren't bad enough for me to bother, though.

Thanks. I am searching for times without WiFi so 7-11 looks good. I'll check it out! 

For anyone interested, I found a great deal for visitors at The Source using Virgin Mobile.
