Guys, I'm arriving into Pearson YYZ on 31 Aug for seven days. Do you know where I can buy a SIM card for my unlocked burner phone? I need one with data, calls, and texts included.

Any advice on which networks/providers are the best?

I'd get an e-sim but they are data only and I need a Canada number.

Thanks in advance.

No can do in Canada. Pay as you go is long gone, a U.N mandate.
Try https://www.luckymobile.ca/

or Try this

If you find Freedom to expensive then call your local Cell Provider and ask how much for international. See or compare the cost between Freedom and your local provider.
Yes you will loose if you buy local unless you are here for two weeks.
It happen to me when I went to NYC. But I was with a friend so no problem.

unless someone here know something I don't know.

Just a heads up Lucky Mobile is a good option price wise, but in my experience, the signal and overall service have been pretty terrible.

But if your only here for 7 days I’m sure it will suffice 😊

There is only one system, Bell. All other service providers contract with Bell.

Try Public Mobile
They have ESIM options that include voice, data and text.
While technically not a Pay As You Go, they are cost effective, have excellent coverage, and is very easy to cancel the subscription when you're done. Not sure if you need a Canadian credit card though. Worth a try.

I should add that you can also walk into (many) physical locations that carry their SIM and get it right there / ask the guy at the counter to make an account and activate it for you on the spot, etc

Lucky has good prices, they weren't so good but have now picked up and I have no problems. They're owned by Bell.

Pessoal, chegarei a Pearson YYZ no dia 31 de agosto por sete dias. Você sabe onde posso comprar um cartão SIM para meu telefone descartável desbloqueado? Preciso de um com dados, chamadas e mensagens de texto incluídos.

Algum conselho sobre quais redes/provedores são os melhores?

Eu receberia um e-sim, mas eles são apenas dados e preciso de um número do Canadá.

Obrigado antecipadamente.

Compre SIMs virtuais, não físicos, quando viajar. Falo por experiência própria porque viajo muito e há muitas opções; os SIMs físicos geralmente funcionam mal.
