Travel Guide
Canada Plug Type
Canada uses plug types A and B at 120 V, 60 Hz, the same as the US. What US and overseas visitors need to bring.
The short answer
Canada uses plug types A, B at 120 V, 60 Hz. US plugs fit, so most US travelers need no adapter.
Canada uses exactly the same plugs and voltage as the US: types A and B at 120 V, 60 Hz. US travelers need no adapter and no converter.
The sockets in Canada

Where else type B is used
What you need, by where you're from
"Converter" applies only to single-voltage devices. Chargers marked 100-240V need an adapter at most.
| Traveling from | Adapter | Voltage converter |
|---|---|---|
| United States or Canada | Not needed | Not needed |
| United Kingdom or Ireland | Type A | For 230 V-only devices |
| Mainland Europe | Type A | For 230 V-only devices |
| Australia or New Zealand | Type A | For 230 V-only devices |
| Japan | Not needed | Not needed |
Adapters for Canada
Two-prong US plugs fit as they are. For three-prong plugs in two-slot outlets, a three-to-two prong adapter from any hardware store is enough.
Visiting several countries?
A universal adapter covers types A, C, G and I. It won't fit Switzerland, India or South Africa well.
Worth knowing before you go
- Visitors from the UK, Europe or Australia need a type A adapter (or type B for grounded plugs).
- At 120 V, devices from 230 V countries need a 100-240V label, or a step-up converter.
