In Canada, they use power outlets and plugs of type A and type B. The voltage is 120 V, and the frequency is 60 Hz.
You will need an adapter for type A power outlets in CanadaIn Canada, power outlets are of type A and B, similar to Canada. A plug adapter is required for type A outlets. B outlets are compatible with your plugs, although they aren't always common in some areas.
Your plug B does not match outlet type A.
Your plugs match outlet type B.
Bring a grounding adapter to use your three-prong type B plugs in two-prong type A outlets.Since you'll need a travel adapter for Canada when coming from Canada, we suggest opting for a universal power adapter that works in many countries and will also prepare you for future trips.
Make sure to get a power adapter for outlets of type A. If you often go abroad, consider getting an all-in-one adapter (most adapters even have additional charging ports for USB-A and USB-C).
Canada runs on a 120 V electrical system, which is the same voltage standard used in Canada.
120 V60 Hz120 V60 HzThere is no need for a voltage converter in Canada, when traveling from Canada.To confirm, check if your devices require a voltage converter by looking at the 'INPUT' label, typically found on the power adapter or charger. If the label shows "INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz," the device is built to handle different voltage and frequency ranges, meaning you’ll only need a plug adapter for the outlets in Canada. This is typical for devices such as notebooks, smartphones, digital cameras, and also for tablets, e-readers, and some battery chargers.
Yes, since both Canada and Canada use 120 V and 60 Hz, you can use your Canadian hair dryer in Canada without needing a voltage converter.
Yes, you can use your laptop or smartphone in Canada without any issues, as the voltage and frequency are the same in both countries (120 V, 60 Hz).
