Canada
Canada is officially assigned the ISO 3166 codes CA (alpha-2) and CAN (alpha-3), while its country code top-level domain (ccTLD) is .ca. The international calling code is +1, shared with other North American numbering plan countries, and is used when dialing Canadian phone numbers from abroad. The official currency is the Canadian dollar (CAD). These identifiers are essential in practical contexts: telecommunications rely on the +1 country code for international calls, businesses use the ISO codes for trade, banking, and logistics, and the .ca domain is required for establishing a Canadian web presence.

How to call Canada
From outside Canada, dial your international access prefix, then +1, then the national number. Drop the leading trunk zero when the destination numbering plan requires it.
