Open Meeting Planner →Toronto and Beijing share technology as core industries, which is where the traffic between them comes from. The gap is 12 hours, with Beijing the one whose clock reads later — and whose date has often already turned.
The working week is Monday to Friday on both sides: roughly 09:00–17:00 in Toronto and 09:00–18:00 in Beijing. On the Toronto side the dates that break a schedule are Canada Day (1 July) and Thanksgiving (second Monday of October); on the Beijing side, Chinese New Year (seven days in January or February) and National Day Golden Week (1–7 October).
There is no hour when both offices are open, only the edges: an early start in Toronto meets a late finish in Beijing. Alternate who stretches, and keep those calls short. Only Toronto changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year while Beijing stays put.
Beijing is 12 hours ahead of Toronto. The gap changes by an hour around the clock changes.
There is no hour when both offices are open. The closest is early morning in Toronto against the end of the day in Beijing; alternate which side takes the awkward slot.
Alternate. A standing call that is always 07:00 for Toronto or always 19:00 for Beijing is resented within a month; rotating it keeps both sides in the room.
Not always. At 09:00 in Toronto it is already the next calendar day in Beijing, so every invitation should carry the date in both cities.
