Toronto follows Eastern Time, the same as New York — Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−5) in winter, Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC−4) in summer — with transitions on the same US/Canada schedule. Canada and the US typically transition their clocks on the same dates, keeping cross-border offsets stable throughout the year.
New York City operates on Eastern Time — Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−5) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC−4) in summer. US clocks spring forward on the second Sunday of March and fall back on the first Sunday of November. NYSE and NASDAQ market hours (9:30 AM–4:00 PM ET) make Eastern Time one of the most referenced zones in global finance.
Both Toronto and New York may observe Daylight Saving Time, which means the offset between them can change twice a year. Here is what to expect each season.
| Period | Note | Toronto | New York | Offset |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov – Mar | Both on standard time | EST (UTC−5) | EST (UTC−5) | 0 hours |
| Mar – late Mar | US clocks forward, some zones still on standard | EDT (UTC−4) | EDT (UTC−4) | 0 hours |
| Late Mar – Oct current | Both on summer / daylight time | EDT (UTC−4) | EDT (UTC−4) | 0 hours |
| Late Oct – early Nov | Clocks transitioning — check exact date | EST (UTC−5) | EST (UTC−5) | 0 hours |
The transition window typically lasts 1–2 weeks in spring and autumn. If you have a recurring weekly meeting near a clock change, verify the exact date to avoid a missed call.

Both Toronto and New York observe Daylight Saving Time, but their transitions may not happen on the same date.
