Best Time to Call China from Canada
When calling internationally, it's important to consider time zone differences to ensure you're calling at a convenient time.
Time Zone in Canada:
Multiple (UTC−3.5 to −8)
Time Zone in China:
CST (UTC+8)
Consider business hours (9am-5pm) in China for business calls. For personal calls, evenings and weekends are usually best, avoiding very late hours.
Canada spans six time zones from UTC-5 (Eastern) to UTC-8 (Pacific), so check your recipient's specific province before calling—for example, Toronto is UTC-5 while Vancouver is UTC-8, creating a 3-hour difference across the country. The best time to reach most Canadians for business calls is between 9 AM-5 PM in their local time on weekdays, and remember that most of Canada observes Daylight Saving Time from mid-March to early November, shifting to UTC-4 through UTC-7 during those months. When calling China, note that the entire country uses a single time zone, UTC+8 (China Standard Time), despite its vast geographical size. The best times to call from most Western countries are early morning or late evening your local time to catch Chinese business hours (9 AM-6 PM CST), and remember there's no daylight saving time adjustment in China.
