Default Arrive in Canada, Then what ? SIM, Bank Account, etc

Alright

So I am starting to brick it because I have planned nothing since getting my IEC last year.
I leave in January, arrive on Calgary on a one way flight , might head up to Banff is that a good idea ?
Anyway I realize that as soon as I arrive I have to get down to business , so maybe I will need 3 days in Calgary ?
What sort of things will I need to do ?
Sim ?
Bank account
national insurance number etc and how do I do these things ?
How do I get started basically.

Thanks

Immigration has a Tim Hortons and "NHL Network" on constant loop

You'll be subjected to 72 hours of Intravenous Double Doubles, whilst your eyes are held open with matchsticks watching replays of the Montreal Canadiens Stanley Cup runs, and Justin Biebers latest tune is played through headphones

To add to the above. You should also do a zamboni driving test as the UK snow plough test is not reconized here

Ill shout bomb and run as fast as I can then
A few months in the pen is better than 72 hours of Guantanamo bay treatment.

Damm them snowplough tests, Oh well need to keep up the family business somehow.
