Canada.

120 V · 60 Hz on Type A, Type B.

Identical to the United States: 120 V, 60 Hz, flat-blade Type A and earthed Type B sockets, so cross-border travellers plug straight in. Everyone else needs an adapter, and 230 V-only appliances from Europe or Asia will underperform badly unless they are dual-voltage — check the label before packing.

The voltage window

A nominal 120 V supply may legitimately sit anywhere between 108 and 132 V (±10%). Dual-voltage gear (marked 100–240 V) shrugs at all of it.
