In article <telecom26.80.3@telecom-digest.org> you write:

Your carrier is quite mistaken. Canada is tightly integrated into the
NANP and has the same NXX-NXX-XXXX phone numbers as the US and the
small NANP countries.

You can see the actual area codes and dialing plan in use at
http://www.cnac.ca.

If they use 09X numbers, it's buried deep in the network.
