Best Time to Call Costa Rica 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 Costa Rica:
CST (UTC−6)
Consider business hours (9am-5pm) in Costa Rica 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. Costa Rica operates on Central Standard Time year-round (UTC-6) without observing daylight saving time, making time calculations consistent throughout the year. For optimal calling times, aim for late morning to early afternoon in your timezone if you're calling from Europe or Asia, or early evening if calling from North America's east coast, to reach Costa Ricans during their typical business hours of 9 AM to 5 PM local time.
