We are travelling to Istanbul with our son. We each will have our Canadian mobile phones with international plans. Do we call each other as normal? 1- area code- 7 digit number?

I would recommend you get WhatsApp. You can call each other directly within the app. You can also text each other, and you can create a group for the three of you to share photos, text the entire group, and even have group phone calls with video.
I believe if you prefer to just use your phones to make calls, what you're saying should work.

Greetings!
I agree that Whats App is the way to go. I had a similar trip to Turkey as you describe with family a year ago and Whats App was definitely useful and easy to use.

how do you store one anothers numbers in your phone -- I presume with something like google contacts - if you don't you should.
Save the in the format +1 - then your number.
Wherever you are in the world, Canada or Turkey, just call the contact
