Always include the area code. Most Canadian cities have more than one, so it can't be left out, even for a local number.

3. Enter the number as +1 and the 10 digits.
4. Check the rate. It is shown before you call.
5. Place the call. You are billed from the moment it is answered, in whole minutes.

What it costs compared with roaming

Enter your call length, or a number to see its exact rate:

Area codes outside Canada

The country code +1 is shared with the United States and many Caribbean countries. A number that looks Canadian may be priced differently, so check the rate shown before you call.

Toll-free numbers

Canadian toll-free numbers begin with 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844 or 833. Many carriers can't connect to them from outside North America, but you can call them from 002call. Enter them like any other Canadian number.

When to call

Canada spans six time zones, from Newfoundland to the Pacific. The cards below show the current time in Toronto, Vancouver and Halifax.

Most of Canada moves its clocks back on 1 November 2026 and forward on 14 March 2027. Most of Saskatchewan and all of Yukon do not change their clocks.

Call quality

A browser call needs a steady connection more than a fast one, using roughly half a megabyte to one megabyte of data per minute (an estimate).

• Use Wi-Fi or a good mobile signal.
• Use headphones to avoid echo.
• Switch off a VPN if the audio is choppy or one-way.
• Check the microphone permission if the other person can't hear you.
