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.
If that is the case, you should tell NANPA. I just downloaded their NPA
database, dated today. It says:
NPA_ID,type_of_code,ASSIGNABLE,EXPLANATION,RESERVED,ASSIGNED,ASSIGNMENT_DT,USE,LOCATION,COUNTRY,IN_SERVICE,IN_SERVICE_DT,STATUS,PLANNING_LETTERS,"NOTES",OVERLAY,OVERLAY_COMPLEX,PARENT_NPA_ID,SERVICE,TIME_ZONE,AREA_SERVED,MAP,IN_JEOPARDY,RELIEF_PLANNING_IN_PROGRESS,HOME_NPA_LOCAL_CALLS,HOME_NPA_TOLL_CALLS,FOREIGN_NPA_LOCAL_CALLS,FOREIGN_NPA_TOLL_CALLS,PERM_HNPA_LOCAL_CALLS,PERM_HNPA_TOLL_CALLS,PERM_HNPA_FOREIGN_LOCAL_CALLS,"DIALING_PLAN_NOTES"
886,General Purpose Code,No,Set aside for toll
free,No,No,,N,,,N,,,,"",No,,,Toll-Free,,,,No,No,,,,,,,,""

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.
