    No cellular device sold in Canada since December 1, 2017 is locked to a specific carrier. The SIM cards are independent of the phone so moving them to a new device shouldn't have any issues.

     

    The only exception is if you set a SIM PIN# on the old iPhone. If you did set a SIM PIN, when you put the SIM into the new phone, it will ask you for the PIN that you created for that SIM card. (Settings > Cellular > SIM PIN)
