“In St Johns, the phone was the easy part; I verified the USB-C wall charger accepted 120 V and then dealt with Canada’s A · B socket.”

Will my iPhone wall charger work in Canada?
A road-trip hotel may use the same outlet family familiar to US travelers, but equipment brought from a higher-voltage region still needs its own input check before that familiarity becomes reassuring. For an iPhone, start with the wall charger. Canada is listed at 120 V / 60 Hz. A USB-C or older USB power adapter marked 100–240V ~ 50/60Hz generally includes that range.
Travelers from 220–240 V regions should not assume a single-voltage charger will accept 120 V; the charger label settles that question before plug shape. Between Toronto and Vancouver, long travel days can increase reliance on portable power without changing the separate question of overnight wall compatibility.
Canada power: A · B · 120 V · 60 Hz
See the Canada power plug guide →Which phone plugs need an adapter in Canada?
Type A/B outlets simplify plug fit for many North American devices, while European, British and Australian plugs still need an adapter. Canada uses A · B. A North American flat-pin phone charger may fit directly in some A/B destinations, while European, British or Australian plugs often need an adapter there. In St Johns, the important part is matching the plug on the actual charger—not the connector that goes into the iPhone.
Anker 735 Charger — compact USB-C charging for Canada
For Canada, this multi-port option can cover compatible USB-C devices if its INPUT accepts 120 V; the iPhone cable type and charging protocol still need their own check.

A hotel desk with several electronics can make one capable charger attractive, but its input range and per-port output need to be checked before replacing original bricks. Fast charging depends on the phone, charger and cable working together. For a Canada trip, a compact USB-C Power Delivery charger can reduce the number of bricks in the bag, but only if its INPUT includes 120 V and the cable supports the charging setup you expect.
Using a power bank while traveling in Canada
For a longer Canadian stay, a destination-compatible detachable cable can be cleaner than stacking an adapter behind a heavy grounded power supply. A power bank is useful between St Johns and Halifax, but it solves a different problem from wall compatibility. Keep the power bank for transit and the voltage-compatible wall charger for overnight charging; check airline battery rules before flying.
EPICKA Universal Travel Adapter — when the iPhone charger plug does not fit Canada
Use it for plug shape only after confirming the wall charger accepts 120 V.

A familiar socket should be treated as a connection shape, not as proof that every appliance bought abroad matches Canada’s electrical supply. There is usually no reason to add a voltage converter to a modern wide-input phone charger. If the charger label already includes 120 V, focus on A · B plug fit and cable condition. If the label is unclear or damaged, replace the charger rather than guessing.
