In August 2024, Canadial recorded 453 reported phone numbers across Canada. Reports were most concentrated in Ontario (45.3% of numbers). We will continue tracking how these patterns shift month over month.

Methodology

Figures cover phone numbers with Canadian area codes and combine complaints filed with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Do Not Call registry (counted by the month of the call) with community reports on Canadial. Numbers are grouped by their three-digit area code to estimate province-level activity; call-type categories come from community reports. These are complaints and reports, not a statistical sample of all Canadian phone traffic. Updated daily.
