Pending/Future Canadian Area Codes (NPAs)

Post by TheHardy »

The fruits of my research shall be shared ... (just in case anyone is interested!) 8-)

The following area NPAs/area codes that are slated to be assigned in Canada. As the CRTC has opted that all new/future area codes will be overlays, rather than splits, I have also indicated the EXISITING area codes that they will overlay. Some are already underway, others are planned, and some are quite a ways off. Enjoy!

236 - newest area code assigned for BC as an overlay for all three existing codes (604/250/778)
639 - approved overlay area code for Saskatchewan (306)
431 - overlay code for Manitoba (204)
365 - pending overlay code for Southern Ontario (905/289)
437 - pending overlay code for Toronto Metro (416/647)
672 - code set aside for future relief of BC when 236 exhausts (604/250/778/236)
825 - code set aside for future relief of Alberta (403/780/587)
548 - code set aside for relief of Southern Ontario (519/226)
742 - preferred relief code for future relief of Southern Ontario (905/289/365)
942 - preferred relief code for future relief of the Maritimes (902)
428 - preferred relief code for New Brunswick (506)
879 - preferred relief code for Newfoundland (709)

Completed Overlays

Also, in case someone has missed the overlays that have already happened, or are confused when they are calling long distance as to where they are calling:

778 - 604/250 - BC - old news, but this code overlaid ALL of BC, not just the Metro Vancouver area (although it started out that way!)
587 - 403/780 - AB - province wide overlay also
249 - 705 - ON - north central region
226 - 519 - ON - southern region
289 - 905 - ON - "Toronto-fringe" area
343 - 613 - ON - Capital region
873 - 819 - QC - Hull/Gatineau area
438 - 514 - QC - Montreal area
579 - 450 - QC - area outlying Montreal
581 - 418 - QC - area outlying Quebec City
