Also, data will be charged at 25p PER Mb and calls at £1.00 per minute, so £15 may not last long. Canada is in band 2 in Price Guide: https://cdn.smarty.co.uk/files/SMARTY-Price-Guide.pdf P18 & p19
As Chalkychap says but you will need a fairly good connection in order to use WhatsApp on wifi. Some places deliberately limit wifi as they don't want a few people hogging the whole bandwidth.

To use mobile data in Canada you'll to setup the APN as detailed in the online help article:
