A listed telephone prefix may combine a shared country calling code with an area code. It is not a complete phone number.

Languages & native names

Languages listed for Canada in the reference source, with native language names where available. This is not an exhaustive list of the languages spoken or a statement of their legal status.

The small codes are source language tags. A tag such as en-US includes a language and a regional variant; it is different from an ISO country code on its own.

Canada time zones

23 identifiers are listed for CA in IANA zone.tab, release 2026d. Time-zone identifiers describe clock-rule locations, not fixed UTC offsets.

FIFA and IOC values are source references, not confirmation of current membership or event participation. FIPS 10-4 was withdrawn in 2008; legacy FIPS-style values are for interpreting older datasets and must not replace current ISO codes.

Sources & reference notes

The base record is from ListBase.org v2026.08. English and native country names use Annexare Countries, language names use Annexare and runtime display-name data, time zones use IANA 2026d, and the locally hosted flag is from flag-icons.
