Costa Rica to Canada: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) No Adapter Needed

Planning a trip from Costa Rica to Canada? One of the first things to sort out before you travel is whether your electronics will work at your destination. Power outlets, plug shapes, and voltage standards vary around the world, and Canada is no exception.

Since Costa Rica and Canada both support Type A, B plugs, you can use your chargers and appliances without a travel adapter. One less thing to worry about.

On the voltage front, Costa Rica (120V, 60Hz) and Canada (120V, 60Hz) are identical. You shouldn't need a voltage converter for your electronics.

Rather than packing bulky converters, consider buying travel-sized dual-voltage versions of appliances you can't live without. For phones and laptops, all you'll need is the right plug adapter since their chargers almost always support worldwide voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not necessarily. Both countries support Type A/B plugs, so your devices should fit Canada's outlets directly.
