How prayer times are calculated in Canada

Times for Canada use the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method: Fajr when the sun is 15° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 15° below the horizon. Times are shown in the local time of each city (UTC−7; UTC−6; UTC−5, UTC−4 in summer; UTC−4, UTC−3 in summer; UTC−5; UTC−3:30, UTC−2:30 in summer). In the capital Ottawa, Fajr is around 3:15 AM and Maghrib 8:55 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 6:09 AM and Maghrib at 4:22 PM. Daylight there ranges from 8 h 43 min to 15 h 40 min.

Our cities in Canada stretch from Whitehorse in the west to St. John's in the east, and from Iqaluit in the north to Leamington in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in St. John's about 329 minutes before Whitehorse, which is one reason the country uses several time zones. Day length also varies between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of Ottawa is no substitute for that of your own city.

Ramadan in Canada

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected around 8 February 2027), the fast in Ottawa lasts roughly 11 h 28 min at the start of the month and 12 h 55 min at the end, with imsak at 5:42 AM and iftar at 5:20 PM on the first day. Times differ from one city to another, so open your city’s page for its exact Ramadan timetable.

To reach your city quickly, type its name in the search box at the top of the page, or browse the regions above. On every page you will find today’s times with a countdown, a monthly timetable ready to print and links to nearby cities.
