Why use a Canada number for Instagram?
Instagram is one of the most used apps in Canada, alongside WhatsApp and Facebook. A local +1 number makes creator and shop accounts aimed at local followers look native rather than foreign.
Students and new immigrants: International students heading to Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal often need a Canadian number before arrival for university portals, banks and rental listings.
Instagram often asks new accounts to confirm the phone number again after a few days of activity.
