I just switched to Koodo today and the workers told me it would take 90 minutes for my imessage to work. It has been 6 hours and my phone number is still verifying for texts and I can’t send or receive them. Why is this happening and how do I fix this?

Did you try to turn off iMessage and turn it back on? https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201422

Have you tried any of these other steps as well? https://www.iphonelife.com/content/how-to-fix-imessage-waiting-activation-error-iphone-4-different-solutions

Apple mentioned in the link that iMessage activation might take up to 24 hours. 
i recommend you just wait and see if iMessage can work at that time or not.
