Call Canada from United Kingdom

When calling internationally, it's important to consider time zone differences to ensure you're calling at a convenient time.

When calling the United Kingdom, which operates on GMT (UTC+0) in winter and BST (UTC+1) in summer, aim for late morning to early afternoon your time if you're calling from the Americas, or early evening if calling from Asia to catch UK business hours (9 AM-5 PM). Remember that the UK switches to Daylight Saving Time on different dates than many countries, typically the last Sunday in March and October, so verify the current time difference before important calls. 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.
