About Canadian Area Codes

Welcome to our website dedicated to Canadian area codes. Our mission is to provide comprehensive and up-to-date information about all area codes used in Canada.

What is an Area Code?

An area code, also known as a number plan area (NPA), is a telephone number prefix used in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). In Canada, area codes are assigned to specific geographic regions and form the first three digits of a 10-digit telephone number.

History of Area Codes in Canada

The first Canadian area codes were introduced in 1947 when the North American Numbering Plan was implemented. Initially, Canada was assigned nine area codes. Over the years, as the population grew and the demand for telephone numbers increased, new area codes have been added.
