Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Ottawa uses the CAD ($) and Tbilisi uses the GEL (₾). Language shifts too — English in Ottawa, Georgian in Tbilisi. Cars drive on the right in both, so rentals feel familiar.

Quick answers. Before you book the call.
What's the time difference between Ottawa and Tbilisi?
Ottawa is 8 hours ahead of Tbilisi. Ottawa runs on GMT-4 and Tbilisi on GMT+4. The gap can shift by an hour when either side enters or leaves daylight saving — the live clocks above always reflect the current offset.
When's the best time to schedule a meeting?
Standard 09:00–17:00 workdays don't intersect. Most teams compromise with one side meeting early (before 09:00) or late (after 17:00).
Does daylight saving time change the difference?
Yes, if either city observes DST. When one side shifts and the other doesn't, the gap changes by one hour. The DST badges under each clock show whether each zone is currently shifted and when the next transition lands.
