What is the Canada country code?

Everything you need to dial a Canada number correctly from a UK phone.

+1

The Canada country code is +1. Dialling from the UK? Use 001 instead of the + — they do exactly the same thing.

How to dial a Canada number from the UK

Canada shares the same +1 country code as the US and the wider North American Numbering Plan — it's a 10-digit number (3-digit area code + 7-digit local number), no leading zero to drop.

Example: Toronto: 001 416 + 7-digit number. Mobiles follow the same 10-digit format as landlines.

00 or +? Either works

Typing +1 (hold the 0 key on most phone keypads to get a +) is the international standard and works automatically wherever you're calling from. 001 is the UK's own way of dialling out internationally — both reach exactly the same number.

Yes — WhatsApp, FaceTime and similar apps call over data instead of the phone network, so there's no country code to dial at all. They're free if the person you're calling also has internet, but aren't a substitute for reaching a landline or someone without a smartphone.
