About Montreal

Montreal is Quebec's economic centre and a major French-speaking city, known for its old town, festivals, food and universities. It is an important centre for aerospace, video games, artificial intelligence research and film, so business partners and visitors from both Europe and the US check the time here.

Montreal follows Eastern Time, with Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4) in summer. It is always on the same time as Toronto, Ottawa and New York, which makes cross-border business straightforward. Bear in mind that Canada spans several time zones, so Vancouver is three hours behind.
