Time difference between Toronto and Cape Town

Cape Town is 6 hours ahead of Toronto. Put the other way round: Toronto is 6 hours behind Cape Town.

Toronto is UTC-4 in summer and UTC-5 in winter; Cape Town is UTC+2 and UTC+2.

When you can both be at your desks

Working 09:00 to 17:00 in both cities leaves 2 hours in common: 09:00 to 11:00 in Toronto, which is 15:00 to 17:00 in Cape Town. Those are the hours to aim a call at.

Daylight saving

Toronto changes its clocks for summer and Cape Town does not, so there is no single answer: the gap is 6 hours for the northern summer and 7 hours for the rest of the year.

Plan a meeting across more than two cities

This page covers one pair. TimeGap takes a list: add every city you care about, drag one marker, and every row reads the same instant on its own clock. It marks the hours you would actually take a call, finds the window where the most people are reachable, flags public holidays, and puts the time you pick straight into Outlook or Google Calendar.
