Istanbul

Istanbul is 8 hours ahead of Toronto right now.
Does the gap change?
The gap isn't fixed. Toronto changes its clocks for daylight saving time and Istanbul doesn't, so the difference moves during the year:
- From around March 15, 2027: Istanbul ahead by 7 hours
- From around November 8, 2027: Istanbul ahead by 8 hours
Best time to meet
Normal office hours in Istanbul and Toronto don't overlap. The most workable window is 7 AM to 2 PM in Toronto, which is 3 PM to 10 PM in Istanbul, with one side starting early or finishing late.
For a recurring meeting, it's fairest to rotate which city takes the inconvenient slot.
