When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Ho Chi Minh City and Toronto don't overlap on the same weekday. Toronto is 11 hours behind Ho Chi Minh City.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 6 PM–8 PM in Ho Chi Minh City (7 AM–9 AM in Toronto) — suggest 7:00 PM Ho Chi Minh City (8:00 AM Toronto).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.
This window may shift by an hour during daylight saving time.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
