Is 825 a country code?
No. 825 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 825 number written for international dialing looks like +1 825 followed by the 7-digit local number.
