Canada has 26 area codes, which are telephone area codes in the North American Numbering Plan. One of these is area code 604, which is located in the southwestern part of British Columbia and includes the Metro Vancouver, Sunshine Coast, Howe Sound/Sea to Sky Corridor, Fraser Valley, and the lower Fraser Canyon regions. The major city in this area is Vancouver.

Area code 604 was created in 1947 as one of the original North American Numbering Plan areas. Until 1997, it covered the entire province of British Columbia, but it was then split, creating area code 250. In 2001, area code 778 was implemented as an overlay for the two largest regional districts in the Lower Mainland, requiring the implementation of ten-digit dialling throughout the region.

The 604 area code is located in the Pacific Time Zone in North America. It is 8 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-8) during standard time and 7 hours behind (UTC-7) during daylight saving time.

To call Brunei from Canada, you need to dial the Canadian exit code, followed by the Bruneian country code and the local number. The code to dial out from Canada is 011, and the country code for Brunei is 673. So, the overall dialling code format is 011 + 673 + Local Number.

Now, let's focus on local phone numbers in Canada. Local phone numbers in Canada have 10 digits, including the area code. The North American Numbering Plan (NANP) assigns Canada the country code 1, which is dialled as a prefix when calling Canada from overseas.

Canadian phone numbers follow the fixed-length NANP format of a three-digit area code, a three-digit central office code (or exchange code), and a four-digit station or line code. This can be represented as NPA NXX XXXX, where NPA is the area code, NXX is the central office code, and XXXX is the line code.

The area code helps identify a specific geographic region within Canada. Smaller areas share an area code, while large cities may have multiple area codes. The line number refers to the last four digits of the 10-digit phone number and usually identifies an individual line connected to the area code and telephone prefix.

Here's an example of a local or landline number in Canada: +1 (613) 957-2991. As you can see, the country code is +1, the area code is 613, and the line number is 957-2991.

So, the overall dialling code format from Canada to a mobile number in Brunei is 011 + 673 + 7/8/228/229 + XXXX.
