Canada currently uses 28 area codes which are assigned to specific geographic areas plus area code 600 which is not assigned to a geographic area. Three provinces which use only one area code are New
Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Saskatchewan. Several other locations share an area code such as Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island which use area code 902, as well as, Yukon, Northwest Territories and
Nunavut which use area code 867. The province using the most area codes is Ontario which is using nine area codes followed by Quebec which is using six area codes. Although area codes are not assigned based upon
population the locations with greater populations have an increased demand for area codes. The non-geographic Canadian area code 600 is reserved for services such as data links, mobile satellite services and ISDN. |
