Time difference between Vancouver and Dubai
Dubai is 11 hours ahead of Vancouver
Vancouver, Canada is UTC−8 · Dubai, the United Arab Emirates is UTC+4 — 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 Vancouver goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November and Dubai does not change its clocks.
| Vancouver / Dubai clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| summer / standard | 11 hours ahead | about 34 weeks — most of the year |
| standard / standard | 12 hours ahead | about 18 weeks |
Dubai stays put all year while Vancouver moves, so a meeting fixed in Dubai's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Vancouver's end.
When they can both be at their desks
Nine-to-five in Vancouver and nine-to-five in Dubai do not overlap at all. With 11 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.
