Port forwarding is done at your home on the router/gateway Telus provided to you. There are a few pre-requisites though. It'll depend on which gateway you have, which port you're trying to open (a select few can't be forwarded), and whether or not the gateway has a public IP. If it doesn't have a public IP, there's no easy fix. Provide more details and there are those here that may be able to point you in the right direction.
Which router or gateway do you have?
What port are you trying to forward?
Which program or game is it for?
To determine if your gateway has a public IP, go to 192.168.1.254 and locate the Modem / WAN / Internet IP address. After that go to whatismyip.com and see if the IPv4 address matches. If it does, then there's a chance you may be able to get a port forwarded.
