Telephone numbers in Canada - wikipedia Telephone numbers in Canada Canada telephone numbers Location Country Canada Continent North America Access codes Country calling code + 1 International call prefix 011 Trunk prefix Telephone numbers in Canada follow the fixed - length Bell System format, consisting of the country code + 1, followed by a three - digit area code, a three - digit central office code ( or exchange code ) and a four - digit station code. This is represented as 1 NPA NXX - XXXX, in which the country code is `` 1 ''. Local calls from Canadian landlines must be dialled without the leading ' 1 ', which is used as the trunk prefix for domestic long distance calls. Toll calls from Canada to other North American Numbering Plan countries are dialled in the same format ( eleven digits ) as domestic calls. Overseas calls to locations outside country code + 1 are dialled with the 011 international prefix, followed by the country code and the national significant number.

Numbers may be ported between landline and mobile. The rarely used non-geographic area code 600 is one exception to this pattern ( non-portable, and allows caller - pays - airtime satellite telephony ) ; some independent landline exchanges are also non-portable. Mobile phone providers had supported either CDMA or GSM ; both are being supplanted by UMTS. Telus expects to shut down its CDMA in mid-2015 ; Bell Mobility will go dark as the last major CDMA provider on Jan 1, 2017. Toll - free and premium numbers Non-geographic toll - free telephone numbers ( + 1 800, 844, 855, 866, 877, 888 ) and premium - rate telephone numbers ( + 1 - 900 ) are allocated from the same blocks as the corresponding US numbers. Numbers with exchange code + 1 NPA 976 - XXXX are also expensive premium calls.
