If you’re an immigrant living in Canada, there is one secret no one is telling you:
Calling home shouldn’t cost more than rent.
Yet for years, Canadian migrants with family in Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Ghana, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, and more, have been paying unbelievably high rates just to stay connected with their loved ones.
We have all been there, second guessing before calling that loved one you missed dearly while eyeing your balance nervously, counting minutes during calls and being forced to end conversations abruptly, or waiting for a “good network day” to talk to Mom using one of those numerous unreliable “free apps”.
But today? That changes completely! You have complained about the high rate on international calls in Canada and PlanetTalk has heard.
Good news for migrants residing in Canada, PlanetTalk just announced a major price drop for Canadian users, making it cheaper to stay connected to family across Africa & Asia. That means more minutes, lower cost, crystal clear audio and no more double checking your top-up balance.
This is big not just for your wallet, but for your relationships, your peace of mind, and your ability to stay close to home at a very little cost.
Why Calling Home Matters More Than People Realize

For many Canadians and Migrants in Canada, calling family abroad isn’t just communication, it is staying closer to your roots; When you call your Aunty in Lagos, your father in Delhi, your sister in Accra, Your grandparents in Islamabad, your cousins in Dhaka or your nephews in Yaoundé. It is not just a phone call, it is home, it is your root and it is you. It is how we stay grounded.
But high international rates often force people to shorten calls, delay updates or good news, wait for WiFi, miss emotional moments, or just stop calling as often. PlanetTalk lowering prices isn’t just a market move, it is a human one.
Why This Price Drop Matters More Than You Think

- Canada has one of the highest immigrant populations in the world
Nearly 1 in 4 Canadians was born abroad most with family in Africa & Asia.
That means reliable, affordable communication is a necessity, not a luxury.
- African & Asian countries have inconsistent internet stability
WhatsApp and free calling apps work great…until it doesn’t. PlanetTalk fills that gap with stable VoIP routing.
- Calling home is a mental health booster
Studies show that migrant well-being is strongly tied to regular conversations with loved ones back home.
Cheaper calls = more calls = better emotional health.
- High calling costs disproportionately affect working-class immigrants
Lower rates = fairer, more inclusive communication.
This isn’t just a price drop, it’s a socio-economic improvement.
We are on a mission to bring your home closer to you, building emotional bridges and staying connected to your roots.
