2. Apply the trunk rule
Keep all 10 national digits and add +1. Do not add a trunk zero.
3. Store one canonical value
Use +14165550123 for machine storage and format it for display at the edge of your application.

| Valid E.164 structure | +14165550123 | Accept for format testing; do not infer reachability. |
| Invalid length | +1416555012 | Reject before storing or sending to an API. |
Manually reviewed country notes
What makes Canada phone input different
Canada shares country code +1 and the ten-digit North American format with the United States and several other territories. A calling code match alone therefore cannot select Canada; the area code or an explicit CA region must remain part of the parsing context.
This page uses a 416-555-01xx fixture. The 555-0100 through 555-0199 block is reserved across the North American plan for entertainment and advertising examples, not subscriber discovery.
Check 1
Preserve the 416 area code when normalizing the fixture.
Check 2
Require CA context for national input instead of guessing from +1.
Check 3
Keep all ten national digits after the shared +1 calling code.

Frontend checks
Test empty input, pasted punctuation, a missing country code, one digit too few and one digit too many. Avoid using a single global regex for every country.
Test a JavaScript regexBackend storage
Store a normalized E.164 value and keep display formatting separate. Try the E.164 formatter or structural validator.
Production validation
Numbering plans change. Use a maintained numbering library and treat carrier, line type and reachability as separate checks.

Canada phone number FAQ
Are these Canada phone numbers real?
They are generated test fixtures, not verified subscriber lines. Even a structurally valid value may coincide with an assigned number unless it comes from an officially reserved fictional range.
What does the +1 calling code mean?
+1 is the international country calling code for Canada. In E.164 format it appears after the leading plus sign and before the national number.
Can generated numbers receive calls, SMS or verification codes?
No capability is provided or verified. Do not call, text or use generated values for account verification.
Official numbering reference
Numbering rules can change. Check the Canadian Numbering Administrator before enforcing production rules.
