Calling Canada from United States: what to know

Canada answers on the country code +1, with the capital in Ottawa and most business concentrated around Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. The working language for business is English and French (Quebec), and local offices generally keep hours of 9:00 to 17:00 local time across provinces. Quebec businesses often add a one-hour lunch break and many close early on Fridays.

From United States the outbound access code is 011, so a manual dial reads 011 then +1 then the local number. Intercalling removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between United States and Canada.

Most mobiles in Canada sit on operators such as Rogers, Bell Mobility, Telus. Bilingual greetings ('Bonjour, hello') are standard for businesses operating in Quebec or serving federal clients.

Canada runs on UTC minus 5, and it shifts for daylight saving, so confirm the current difference before an early or late call.
