Current Time in Toronto

From Vancouver, 6:00 AM is 8:00 AM in January and 9:00 AM in July in Toronto, so a Vancouver colleague who starts at 6:00 AM catches Toronto's opening in summer and is an hour short of it in winter. From Chicago, Toronto is one hour ahead: 8:00 AM in Chicago is 9:00 AM in Toronto.

London reaches Toronto in the morning. 2:00 PM in London is 9:00 AM in Toronto. India's evening is Toronto's morning, so 7:00 PM in India is 8:30 AM in January and 9:30 AM in July in Toronto.

In the weeks when the US and Canada have changed their clocks but the UK hasn't, London's noon is 8:00 AM in Toronto instead of the usual 7:00 AM.

Quick answer: Toronto uses EST (UTC-5) in standard time · EDT (UTC-4) during March-November.

Toronto uses Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC-5) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC-4) in summer. Canada changes its clocks on the same dates as the US: forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November.

That keeps Toronto level with New York every day of the year, and Ottawa and Montreal follow the same Eastern clock under the America/Toronto zone. Canada has six time zones overall, so use the city when you want a single answer.

For overseas calls Toronto behaves like New York. 9:00 AM in Toronto is 2:00 PM in London. In India it's 7:30 PM in January and 6:30 PM in July.
