Send a fax to Canada from your computer

From your file to a Canadian fax number

1. Start with the PDF, DOC, DOCX or supported image file you want the recipient to receive. Keep the combined upload within 50 MB, put attachments in order and add a cover sheet only if you need one; it counts toward the page total.
2. Choose Canada and enter the full ten-digit number, or the matching international number with +1. Canada and the US share +1, so check the recipient and area code instead of identifying the country from +1 alone.
3. Check availability, the recipient number and the displayed price before authorizing PayPal. Follow the status until delivery is confirmed or a final failure is reported. FaxOnWeb sends your document; it does not give you a number for receiving faxes.

• Create a free fax cover sheet before uploading
• Check what your fax delivery status means
• Read the international fax guide for numbers, price and delivery

What to expect

• Upload your document, select Canada, check the recipient number and price, then authorize one fax with PayPal and follow the delivery result.

Practical checklist for faxing Canada

Check the Canadian destination and the document details before authorizing payment so the receiving office can identify the fax.

Confirm the +1 Canadian fax number

Canada and the United States share country code +1. Select Canada, enter the 10-digit area code and local number, and confirm that it is the recipient's actual fax line.

Name the department and reference

Put the organization, receiving department or contact, and any case, account, or file reference supplied by the recipient on the document or cover sheet.

Review pages and the final result

Count the cover sheet and every attachment, verify the displayed page total, and wait for the final delivery result because provider acceptance alone is not confirmed delivery.

What to expect

• Pay once with PayPal: USD 2.89 for up to 5 pages, then USD 0.39 per additional page.
• Upload PDF, DOC, DOCX, TIF, TIFF, JPG, JPEG, or PNG documents. Maximum total size per fax: 50MB Technical maximum of 200 pages per fax; Brazil up to 5 pages, China up to 3 pages
• Documents retained while waiting for delivery are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM; validation and transmission use isolated, short-lived processing files.
• A fax is shown as successful only after the recipient fax machine confirms delivery.
• Deletion is attempted no later than 7 days after upload for final failures, and failed deletion attempts are retried. Unresolved documents stay encrypted while the delivery outcome is reconciled; deletion is attempted after confirmed delivery or a terminal retention outcome.
