You will have to contact your carrier to ensure that the carrier sends you the QR code to install and activate the eSIM.

Why don’t you simply transfer the physical SIM from your iPhone 8 Plus to your new iPhone 11 Pro to start with? This will transfer the active cellular service with that physical SIM to your new iPhone. You can always contact your carrier to convert to an eSIM later after your iPhone has been setup.
