Canada Canada power plug : do I need a travel adapter?

If you go to Canada, you will probably need a travel adapter because they use a specific type of plug (the same as the US). Whether you go to the West of Canada (Yukon, Alberta, Vancouver, ...) or the East (Ontario, Québec, Toronto, Montreal...), you'll find the plugs of type B in Canada.

If you don't come from the United States, you'll probably need a plug adapter to use your electric devices in Canada.

Be careful : the frequency is 60Hz, and the voltage 110 V.

To know if you need a travel plug adapter to go to Canada, you have to consider 3 things : the shape of the plugs, the voltage and the frequency of the current delivered by electrical outlets in Canada.
