Time difference between Vancouver and Chicago

Chicago is 2 hours ahead of Vancouver

Vancouver, Canada is UTC−8 · Chicago, the United States is UTC−6 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Vancouver goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November and Chicago goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November — so 2 hours is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.
