Here's something carriers don't advertise: calling Canada from outside North America costs 10–50x more than it should. A 30-minute call to your sister in Toronto? That's $6–60 through a typical carrier. Through GlobCall, it's 60 cents. Same phone, same recipient, same crystal-clear connection — minus the markup.

How Much Does It Cost to Call Canada?
Canada shares the +1 country code with the US, but don't let that fool you. From outside North America, carriers treat it as a premium international destination. The markup is staggering — and completely unnecessary in 2026.

Why GlobCall for Calls to Canada
Calling cards charge connection fees. Skype shut down. Carrier add-ons cost $5–15/month whether you call or not. Here's what's different.
Absurdly low rate
$0.02/min is not a typo. That's 2 cents per minute to any Canadian number. A 30-minute call costs 60 cents. Your carrier probably charges that for 30 seconds.
No subscription traps
Buy $5 credit when you need it. Use it this week or next year. No recurring charges, no "use it or lose it" expiration. Your balance stays until you spend it.
Reaches any phone
WhatsApp and FaceTime only work if the other person has the app and internet. GlobCall connects to real phone numbers — landlines, office phones, your grandmother's flip phone.
Same rate from anywhere
Calling Canada from London? Sydney? Mumbai? The rate is $0.02/min regardless of where you are. No location surcharges, no "premium destination" markups.
Shared family balance
One account works on multiple devices. Your whole family can call Canada using the same credit balance instead of everyone buying separate calling cards.
Business-ready
Calling Canadian clients, suppliers, or remote team members? GlobCall supports shared billing, call logs, and multiple users under one account.

Common reasons people call Canada
- Family calls: Checking in with parents, grandparents, or children who've immigrated to Canada. Time zones make scheduling tricky — but $0.02/min makes spontaneous calls affordable.
- Business calls: Reaching Canadian offices, suppliers, or clients. Toronto and Vancouver are major business hubs with strong ties to UK, Asian, and European markets.
- Immigration and legal: Calling Canadian immigration lawyers, consultants, or government offices about visa and PR applications. These calls can run long — and carriers charge accordingly.
- Real estate and property: Managing Canadian property from abroad, coordinating with agents, tenants, or property managers. Vancouver and Toronto real estate markets have significant international ownership.

What is Canada's country code?
+1 — the same as the United States. Canadian numbers are 10 digits: a 3-digit area code plus 7 digits. GlobCall adds the +1 automatically when you select Canada.
Can I call Canadian landlines from overseas?

Is WhatsApp free for calling Canada?
WhatsApp audio calls are free between app users with internet access. But you can't reach landlines, office phones, or anyone without the app installed. For those, you need a service that connects to the actual phone network.
How do I dial a Canadian number from another country?
From a regular phone: dial your country's exit code, then +1, then the 10-digit number (e.g., +1 416 555 1234 for Toronto). On GlobCall: select Canada, enter the 10 digits, press call. We handle the formatting.
What time should I call Canada?
Canada spans 6 time zones. Toronto and Montreal are Eastern (UTC-5), Vancouver is Pacific (UTC-8). For business calls, aim for 9 AM–5 PM in their local time. For family, evenings 6–9 PM local work best.
Do calling cards work for Canada in 2026?
They exist, but most charge $0.50–1.00 connection fees and bill in 3-minute blocks. A $10 card might yield only 15–20 actual minutes after fees. GlobCall has no connection fee, bills per second, and your balance never expires.
Do I need to install anything?
No. GlobCall runs in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. Open the site, sign in, dial. Works on desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers.
How does billing work?
Buy credit from $5. The per-minute cost is deducted as you talk. You see the rate before the call starts. Unused credit stays in your account indefinitely — it doesn't expire.
