Time difference between Vancouver and New York

New York is 3 hours ahead of Vancouver

Vancouver, Canada is UTC−8 · New York, the United States is UTC−5 — 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 New York goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November — so 3 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.
