Roaming was on. Full bars. It works everywhere I've ever been on the planet - except Vancouver area. I'm sorry but the data speeds can't be that typically slow in Canada. You can't even load an app to pay by phone to park on the street. We had to connect to Wi-Fi every time we wanted to park at a meter. Nobody's phone we were with worked.

Some phone apps for parking and city services will not work with international numbers.  This is an app restriction, nothing to do with roaming.  Had this very issue in Richmond, VA when trying to pay for parking through their app at the Richmond Convention Center.  I had my Canadian SIM selected and payment would never go through.  As soon as I switched it to my T-Mobile SIM.  It worked the first time.  Using my T-Mobile SIM in Toronto for Canadian apps also results in similar issues.  It's solely an app restriction and it's common.  Even Little Caesar's won't allow me to order a pizza in Canada if my T-Mobile SIM is selected.
