Time difference between Istanbul and Vancouver

Vancouver is 10 hours behind Istanbul

Istanbul, Türkiye is UTC+3 · Vancouver, Canada is UTC−8 — on standard time

The gap is not the same all year

Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Istanbul does not change its clocks and Vancouver goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November.

Istanbul stays put all year while Vancouver moves, so the gap changes twice a year from Vancouver's side alone. A recurring meeting set in Istanbul's calendar will drift by an hour without anyone touching it.

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in Istanbul and nine-to-five in Vancouver do not overlap at all. With 10 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
