Practical tips & quick facts
Typical offset range
Seoul (Asia/Seoul, UTC+9) is typically 16–17 hours ahead of Vancouver (America/Vancouver), depending on Pacific DST.
Best overlap windows
For meetings, try late evening in Seoul (20:00–22:00) to catch Vancouver morning (03:00–05:00) or choose early Seoul morning for Vancouver afternoon.
Jet lag adaptation tip
Travelling westward (Seoul → Vancouver) often adapts better if you delay sleep times by an hour or two in the nights before departure.
Time history note
Seoul uses a standard Korea time (no DST); Vancouver follows Pacific Time with regular DST shifts — our converter applies the official IANA rules.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the Seoul–Vancouver gap look so large?
Seoul is at UTC+9 while Vancouver is at UTC−8 (standard) or UTC−7 (daylight). That creates a 16–17 hour difference depending on Pacific DST.
Will my recurring meeting shift when Vancouver changes DST?
The tool shows future DST changes. Recurring meetings can appear to shift in local time when one side observes DST and the other does not.
Can I input IANA zones directly?
Yes — entering Asia/Seoul and America/Vancouver ensures the converter uses authoritative IANA rules for offsets and DST transitions.
Is cross-date scheduling handled?
Yes. When time conversions cross midnight or the calendar date, destination cards clearly show the local date alongside the time.
