A 604 number is geographically tied to British Columbia, but caller ID can be spoofed, so the displayed area code does not prove where a caller really is. If you did not expect the call, do not share personal information and consider looking the number up.

Is 604 a country code?

No. 604 is a Canadian area code (a domestic 3-digit code), not a country code. The country (calling) code for Canada is +1, shared across the North American Numbering Plan. So a full 604 number written for international dialing looks like +1 604 followed by the 7-digit local number.
