Very common situation in North America. Yes she is dialling the country code and city code for you. However, is she dialling the code to get OUT of Canada?

Is she dialing 011 (to get outside of Canada) + 86 (China's country Code) + your number including the city/area code?

I'll check with my daughter this weekend whether she had used any other way, other than what Bama Expat had shared.
