WHY THIS ROUTE

Why Vietnamese Canadians Call Home

Canada is home to a large and established Vietnamese diaspora. Staying in touch with family and communities in Vietnam is a regular part of life for many Vietnamese Canadians.

Family Ties Across the Pacific

With approximately 275,000 people of Vietnamese ancestry in Canada, many have parents, grandparents, and extended family still living in Vietnam. Regular phone calls help maintain these bonds across generations.

  • Approximately 275,530 Vietnamese Canadians recorded in the 2021 Census
  • Largest concentrations in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, and Edmonton

Cultural and Community Connections

Vietnamese Canadians maintain strong cultural ties to Vietnam, including observing Tết (Lunar New Year) and other traditional occasions. Calling family during holidays and celebrations is a common practice in the community.

  • Vietnamese community well-established since refugee resettlement waves of 1975–1990s
  • Cultural observances often involve calls to relatives in Vietnam

Supporting Relatives Back Home

Many Vietnamese Canadians regularly support family members in Vietnam financially and emotionally. Phone calls often accompany remittance transfers, coordinating support for education, healthcare, and daily needs.

  • Overseas Vietnamese maintain familial and economic connections with Vietnam
  • Remittances from the Vietnamese diaspora are a significant economic flow

COMMON CHALLENGES

Challenges of Calling Vietnam from Canada

International calling between Canada and Vietnam can come with hurdles. Here are common issues and how to handle them.

Time Zone Gap

Vietnam (UTC+7) is 11–15 hours ahead of most Canadian time zones, depending on whether daylight saving time is in effect. Finding a time that works for both sides often means calling early in the morning or late in the evening from Canada.

Dialing Format Confusion

Vietnam's numbering system uses 2- or 3-digit area codes for landlines and 3-digit mobile prefixes, all after the +84 country code. Forgetting to drop the leading 0 from the local number is one of the most common dialing errors.

Carrier International Rates

Canadian carriers often charge premium rates for calls to Vietnam, and pricing can vary widely depending on your plan. Per-minute charges from traditional carriers can add up quickly for regular callers.

Call Quality Variability

Call quality to Vietnam can vary based on network conditions, especially to rural areas or when using certain routing methods. A stable internet connection on the Canadian side helps ensure a better calling experience.

Calling tips

  • Always dial +84 followed by the local number without the leading 0. For example, a Ho Chi Minh City landline 028 XXXX XXXX becomes +84 28 XXXX XXXX.
  • Vietnamese mobile numbers are 10 digits domestically (e.g., 09XX XXX XXXX). Internationally, dial +84 9XX XXX XXXX (drop the 0).
  • Vietnam does not observe daylight saving time, so the time gap with Canada changes when Canadian clocks shift in March and November.
  • If calling a rural area, be patient — connections may take slightly longer to establish than calls to major cities like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.
  • Save Vietnamese contacts in international format (+84 XX XXXX XXXX) so the number works from any country.

Business etiquette

  • Vietnamese business culture values politeness and hierarchy. Address people by their title and given name (Vietnamese names place the family name first).
  • Avoid calling during lunch hours (11:30 AM – 1:00 PM Vietnam time), as many offices close for lunch.
  • It's common to exchange pleasantries before getting to business matters. Allow time for a friendly opening.
  • If scheduling a follow-up call, confirm the time in both time zones to avoid confusion caused by the large time difference.
