Tips for Calling Canada from the US
Canada spans six time zones from Atlantic (UTC-4) to Pacific (UTC-8). When calling from the US, the time difference depends on the province — Newfoundland is 1.5 hours ahead of Eastern, while British Columbia matches Pacific time. Most US phone plans treat Canadian calls as international despite the shared +1 code, so using InternationalCall can save you significant money.
