About 354 Area Code
Area code 354 serves the suburban ring of Greater Montreal in Quebec, Canada. Activated on October 22, 2022, it is the third overlay added to the long-running 450 numbering plan area, joining 579 (introduced in 2010) to form the 450/579/354 overlay complex. The region covers major suburban cities including Laval, Longueuil, Brossard, Terrebonne, Repentigny, Saint-Jerome, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Granby, and Saint-Hyacinthe. Geographically, it wraps around the Island of Montreal, extending north into the Laurentides, east into Lanaudière, and south through the Montérégie toward the US border.
The 354 zone is one of the most economically productive suburban corridors in Canada. Laval hosts a well-known biotechnology and life sciences cluster, including pharmaceutical manufacturing. Longueuil is home to the Canadian Space Agency and a dense concentration of aerospace suppliers. Across the South Shore, commercial expansion and logistics infrastructure have drawn distribution centers and light manufacturing. Teams in aerospace, healthcare, logistics, and professional services all benefit from local 354 numbers because callers recognize the regional prefix and answer rates improve compared to out-of-province or toll-free numbers.
FoneSwift lists live 354 inventory with voice and SMS capability details on this page. Because 354 is an overlay on the heavily assigned 450/579 complex, new numbers in this NPA are actively being assigned. Use the search widget above to check real-time availability and filter by capability. If a 354 number is not available right away, nearby overlays 450 and 579 serve the identical geographic area and deliver the same local recognition for Montreal-suburb audiences.
If your business targets Quebec, publish numbers in both local and E.164 formats (for example, (354) 555-1234 and +1 354 555-1234) and make sure your SMS campaigns comply with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), which requires express consent before sending commercial messages. If you plan to text US recipients from a Canadian number, A2P 10DLC registration is required. For porting an existing Quebec number, see our porting guide. Keeping the same number protects customer familiarity and avoids disrupting any marketing materials already in circulation.
10-digit dialing is required within the 354/450/579 overlay complex. For business SMS, comply with CASL by obtaining express consent before sending commercial messages. A2P registration is required if texting US recipients from Canadian 354 numbers.
Area code 354 uses Eastern Time. During standard time the offset is EST (UTC-5); during Daylight Saving Time it shifts to EDT (UTC-4). Quebec observes DST, moving clocks forward in March and back in November. Business hours in the region typically align with Eastern Time across both Canada and northeastern US markets.
Because 354 overlays 450 and 579, all three codes are recognized as local by callers in the Greater Montreal suburbs. If 354 inventory is limited, numbers with 450 or 579 prefixes deliver identical local recognition. Bilingual IVR and voice flows (French and English) are recommended for best engagement across this primarily French-speaking region.

Quebec's 10th area code
354 was the 10th area code put into service in the province of Quebec and one of 19 new area codes activated across North America in 2022.
Third overlay on 450
450 launched in 1998, 579 followed as an overlay in 2010, and 354 was added in 2022 - three codes now share the exact same suburban Montreal geography because demand for numbers never stopped growing.
Space agency territory
The Canadian Space Agency headquarters sits in Longueuil, directly inside the 354/450/579 zone, making this one of the few area codes that literally routes calls to a national space program.
Delayed by years
354 was formally assigned to this overlay complex back in February 2019, but the rollout was suspended before finally going live in October 2022 - a three-year gap between assignment and activation.
CASL-regulated territory
Business SMS into Quebec falls under Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), one of the strictest commercial messaging laws in the world. Express consent from recipients is required before sending any commercial text.
Bilingual market
The 354 region is predominantly French-speaking, but many suburban businesses operate bilingually. Voice agents and IVR flows that support both French and English tend to get stronger engagement across this coverage area.

How Does Local 354 Phone Numbers Work?
A local business number is a structured telephone identifier that tells networks where to route calls and messages. When you use a 354 number in Laval and Quebec, the digits signal the international gateway, the geographic region, the local exchange and the specific subscriber, so calls reach the right destination quickly and reliably.
The typical parts of a Canada local number are:
- Country code (+1): identifies Canada for international routing.
- Area code (354): directs the call to the Laval / Quebec region.
- Central office / exchange (eg. 555): narrows the call to a local switching area or rate center.
- Subscriber number (eg. 1234): the unique line assigned to a person, extension, or device.
Example formats:
| International Format (E.164) | +1 354 555 1234 |
| Local Format (National) | (354) 555-1234 |
