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

Traveling from Samoa to Canada means crossing into a different electrical system. Before you leave, take a moment to understand the plug types and voltage used in Canada so you can keep all your devices charged and ready.

There's no plug compatibility between Samoa and Canada. Samoa devices use Type I connectors, while Canada sockets are Type A/B. An adapter is a must-have for this destination.

Voltage is another key difference. Samoa uses 230V while Canada uses 120V. If your device only supports one voltage, using it with the wrong supply could cause overheating or permanent damage. Look for "Input: 100-240V" on your charger. Most modern phone and laptop chargers support this range.

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.
