The Canada country code is +1 — shared with the USA + 25 Caribbean and Pacific territories under the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). Reach all 10 provinces + 3 territories with one prefix, distinguished by 40+ Canadian NPA area codes from Vancouver 604 to Halifax 902.
Canada shares +1 with the USA + 25 NANP territories — but every Canadian NPA (area code) is reserved exclusively for Canada under CRTC jurisdiction. Here is what makes the Canadian half of NANP unique.
Canada was a founding member of the North American Numbering Plan when AT&T + Bell Labs created it in 1947. Canada and the USA jointly defined the +1 numbering scheme — so while +1 covers both, every NPA (3-digit area code) is reserved for exactly one country. 416 = Toronto. 212 = Manhattan. No overlap.
Canada's telecom industry is regulated by the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission). Three major mobile carriers — Bell (~10M subs), Rogers (~12M), Telus (~10M) — plus Freedom Mobile, Videotron, SaskTel. Canada was the first country to widely deploy 5G mmWave (2020).
Canadian phone numbers use the exact same 10-digit format as US numbers: NPA (area code) + NXX (central office) + XXXX (subscriber). Canada has 40+ active NPAs assigned to Canada — none shared with US/Caribbean/Pacific. Some Canadian regions use multiple overlay NPAs (Toronto = 416 + 437 + 647 + 365).
Canada created area codes. The very first 86 NANP area codes assigned in 1947 included 9 for Canada — including 416 (Toronto, still in use today), 514 (Montreal, still in use), 604 (Vancouver, still in use), 902 (Atlantic Canada / Nova Scotia + PEI). Canada was integral to the original AT&T + Bell Labs numbering plan that became the model for ITU-T E.164.
A Canadian phone number in international format is written as +1 NPA NXX-XXXX — identical to the US format. For example, +1 (416) 967-1111 for a Toronto landline (416 = Toronto downtown), +1 (514) 555-1234 for Montreal, or +1 (604) 555-9876 for Vancouver.
The +1 country code is shared across all 27 NANP countries — USA, Canada, plus 25 Caribbean + Pacific territories (Bermuda +1-441, Bahamas +1-242, Jamaica +1-876, Dominican Republic +1-809/829/849, etc). What distinguishes Canada is the NPA (area code) — every Canadian NPA is reserved exclusively for Canada, never overlapping with US codes.
From the CN Tower to the Pacific Rim, every Canadian number lives behind a +1 plus a 3-digit NPA. Pick the area code that matches your customer province or metro.
Every country uses a different international exit code before the +1 country code. From any mobile, the + symbol replaces the exit code automatically — so +1 416 967 1111 works worldwide. US-to-Canada calls don't need 011 + 1 — just dial the 10 Canadian digits.

Every Canadian NPA (area code) is reserved exclusively for Canada — no overlap with US area codes. The full E.164 format is always +1 NPA NXX XXXX — 11 digits total.
+1 with a Canadian NPA reads as "real Canadian business" — the second-largest country by area, 41 million people, G7 economy. Bank OTPs + CRA verifications + Interac e-Transfer all expect a Canadian NPA.
Canadian banks (RBC, TD, BMO, Scotiabank, CIBC, National Bank, Tangerine, EQ Bank, Wealthsimple) + Interac e-Transfer + the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) verify with Canadian NPA mobile numbers.
A +1 Canadian NPA works identically to a US number on every NANP-aware service — iMessage, FaceTime, US bank OTPs, Stripe + many US-only SaaS treat Canadian NPAs the same as US area codes.
A 416 prefix says "downtown Toronto — Bay Street, King West, Yonge-Dundas". A 514 says "Montreal — Plateau, Mile End, downtown Old Montreal". A 604 says "Vancouver — Yaletown, Coal Harbour, Granville". The big cities + the OG NPAs.
Canada spans 6 time zones from Newfoundland (UTC−3:30) to Yukon (UTC−8 year-round) — but the bulk of business runs on Eastern (Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa) + Pacific (Vancouver) clocks. Most Canadians work 9-5 in 3 zones.
French Canada (~8M people in Quebec, NB, parts of ON + MB) + Anglo Canada — your +1 line reaches both with no separate carrier or country setup. Quebec alone is the world's 4th-largest French-speaking economy.

1 + 10-digit number, or just the 10-digit number directly from many US carriers. Example: 1-416-967-1111 for downtown Toronto.
