?I think you misread that 886 is reserved for TF. It was released from TF reservation in 2003 and us currently unassigned so could pop up anywhere as a new code.

Does anyone know if area code 886 was allocated to Canada and if yes where in Canada? We were just told by an international vendor that it is a new area code in Canada yet I can't find anything on it.
You can check the definitive NANPA list at https://nationalnanpa.com/
It says that 886 is reserved for toll-free expansion. Your vendor is confused.
A long time ago, codes 880, 881, and 882 were used for paid international calls to North American 800, 888, and 877 numbers, so they might be telling you a garbled version of that. That hack went away 15 years ago and those codes are now also reserved for toll-free expansion.
