Best time for work calls

If you are scheduling a call between Vancouver and San José, the overlap window is limited to typical business hours. When it is 9 am in Vancouver it is 10 am in San José — a workable window for scheduling. The latest reasonable overlap is around 4 pm in Vancouver (5 pm in San José). Outside this window there is effectively no good overlap for regular office hours.

Best time for family calls

Vancouver and San José have a comfortable window for a family call — no awkward alarms required. Vancouver is 1 hour behind San José, which gives you 2 hours of genuine overlap when both sides are free. Aim for between 6 pm and 8 pm in Vancouver — that lands at 7 pm to 9 pm in San José, after the school run and before anyone's ready for bed. For a Sunday catch-up or a midweek check-in, this is the sweet spot.
