Canadian area codes and country codes

Updated: 2026-11-07

A Canadian area code is the first 3 digits of a 10-digit phone number, for example 416 in (416) 555-0123. A country code starts with + or 011 and shows the country. The Canadian country code is +1, so (416) 555-0123 is written +1 416-555-0123 in international format.

Canadian area codes

Every Canadian phone number has 10 digits: a 3-digit area code, a 3-digit exchange and a 4-digit line number, written (XXX) XXX-XXXX. Many areas have more than one area code (an overlay), so in those areas you dial all 10 digits even for local calls.
