Canada to Moldova: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Getting ready for your journey from Canada to Moldova? Electrical compatibility is easy to overlook, but bringing the wrong plug or forgetting an adapter can leave you scrambling at your hotel. Here's what you need to know.

Your Canada plugs (Type A, B) won't fit Moldova's outlets (Type C, F). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for Moldova before you depart.

Be aware that Canada runs on 120V at 60Hz, while Moldova uses 230V at 50Hz. This voltage difference matters for appliances like hair dryers, curling irons, and electric shavers that aren't dual-voltage. Check the label on your devices. If it says "100-240V," you're fine. Otherwise, you'll need a voltage converter.

Most modern phone chargers, laptop adapters, and camera chargers are designed to handle 100-240V input, so they'll work anywhere with just a plug adapter. Heat-producing appliances like hair dryers and flat irons are often single-voltage, so check before you plug them in abroad.
