Telephone numbers in Canada
- Telephone numbers in Canada
Telephone numbers in Canada all have the same format, consisting of the country code, followed by an area code (Numbering Plan Area, or NPA), then a central office code (or exchange code, denoted by NXX), and finally a station code. This is represented as 1-NPA-NXX-CODE, in which the country code is "1". Area codes are managed via the North American Numbering Plan.
