Their Canada/US plan is back;
I presume you mean travel eSIM, i.e. you are not looking for a new domestic cellular provider?
Correct. I'm looking for travel esim
Got one on Amazon.ca for my US Rockies motorcycle tour in June
and Vodafone for my stay in EU in September and October
Wife got an easy roam travel pass from Koodo while travelling in Europe as an alternative . Her friend got a Vodafone sim. Both worked well. Easy Roam Travel Passes | Koodo Mobile
eSim is just a provisioning service.
When traveling, *which* service provider you use is the most important decision, not the way it gets its service onto your phone.
Most providers today have an eSim option.
Which provider you should choose depends on what country or countries you are visiting. Coverage, speed and reliability are all different for each provider and the market it plays in.
Where are you traveling to? If it is a large country, which parts are you visiting? Urban or rural?
These are probably more important questions than whether the provider offers an electronic way to load their chip onto your phone - because most of them already offer eSim.

Glad you got it sorted. For future reference, I bought a 10-day unlimited use eSim from Giant Tree for our last US trip in October, and it worked well. Used the TMobile network, though I think they sell others. Cost $33ish, I think. Much cheaper than the Telus Easy Roam at $14/day, and where we were in western New York, TMobile had much better coverage than the AT&T network that Telus uses.
The only caveat is it takes a couple days to get the eSim number and activate it, which I didn't know, so ordering on the day of our departure meant I had to pay Telus for a day until the Giant Tree eSim kicked in.
