Canada Ramadan Calendar 2027: 30 Day Timings You Can Trust

By Islamic Info Center Editorial Team. Updated 24 October 2026. Reviewed against astronomical data and trusted Islamic sources.

The Canada Ramadan Calendar for 2027 points to Monday, 8 February 2027 as the expected first day of Ramadan 1448 AH, with Eid al Fitr likely on 9 or 10 March. Canadian Muslims fast through a cold winter that slowly turns into spring, so the day length changes a lot from Halifax to Vancouver. This guide gives you the dates, a city wise timetable calculator, and Hijri holidays from 1447 to 1456 AH.

Canada Ramadan Timetable 2027 by City

Choose your city and a Ramadan day to see Fajr (end of sehri), sunrise, Maghrib (iftar) and the fasting length. The Canada Ramadan Timetable 2027 below is calculated with a 15 degree Fajr angle, the standard used by many Canadian mosques, and it adjusts for daylight saving time starting on 14 March 2027.

Canada Ramadan Timing 2027: What to Expect

Canada Ramadan Timing 2027 is friendlier than the summer Ramadans of the early 2010s. Fasts begin at roughly 10.5 hours in most southern cities and reach about 13 hours by the last days. Northern places such as Whitehorse and Yellowknife see faster growth in day length, because the sun rises earlier each week after the winter solstice.

Why Cities Differ

Latitude and longitude control sunrise and sunset. Vancouver sits far west, so its iftar comes more than three hours after St. John's. Even Toronto and Montreal, in the same time zone, differ by several minutes.

Daylight Saving Time Shift

Clocks move forward on Sunday, 14 March 2027, which falls after Ramadan, so no mid month jump will confuse your sehri alarm this year. Saskatchewan and Yukon do not change clocks at all.

How the Start of Ramadan Is Decided in Canada

The Prophet ﷺ taught the ummah to begin and end the fast by sighting the crescent. Canadian communities follow three main approaches: local sighting, global sighting, and astronomical calculation.

For 1448 AH, the astronomical new moon occurs on 6 February 2027, so the crescent is expected to be seen on the evening of 7 February in the Americas. That is why 8 February is the most likely first day, although cloud cover may delay a local sighting. You can compare methods at the Moonsighting Committee and check sun and moon data at the National Research Council of Canada.

Key Dates: Canada Ramadan Calendar 2027 Overview

Hijri 1447 to 1456 AH Muslim Holidays Calendar

Islamic dates move about 10 to 11 days earlier each Gregorian year, so Ramadan travels through every season over roughly 33 years. Use this table to plan leave from work, school exams, Eid prayers and travel for the next decade. Dates are astronomical projections and may shift by one day after local sighting.

Ramadan and Eid dates fall in the Gregorian year after the Islamic New Year listed in the same row, because Ramadan is the ninth month.

Fasting in Canada: Practical Guidance

Sehri Tips for Cold Winter Mornings

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Take suhoor, for in suhoor there is blessing." (Sahih al Bukhari 1923) A good sehri keeps you steady through the day.

Foods that work well

Choose oats, eggs, yogurt, dates, whole grain bread and plenty of water. For example, a bowl of oats with banana and a glass of milk takes five minutes and releases energy slowly.

Foods to limit

Very salty or sugary meals increase thirst. Skip the large cup of coffee if it leaves you dehydrated by noon.

Iftar the Sunnah Way

Break your fast with fresh dates or water, then pray Maghrib before the main meal. The narrated dua is: Dhahaba al zama wa abtallat al uruq wa thabata al ajr insha Allah (Abu Dawud 2357). Eat in moderation, because the stomach should not be overfilled.

Work, School and University

Many Canadian employers support religious accommodation. Talk to your manager early, request flexible breaks for prayer, and share the Eid date range as soon as you know it. Students can ask for exam schedules that avoid Eid day. Our Islamic Info Center guides explain more about balancing deen and daily life.

Health and Exemptions

People with medical conditions, pregnant or nursing women, and travellers may have a valid concession. Speak with your doctor and a qualified scholar before deciding. Health Canada offers general nutrition guidance on its official website.

Taraweeh, Last Ten Nights and Laylat al Qadr

Taraweeh is prayed after Isha and is a source of great reward. Most Canadian mosques complete the Quran over the month, with 8 or 20 rakahs depending on local practice. The last ten nights are special, as the Prophet ﷺ said, "Seek Laylat al Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan." (Sahih al Bukhari 2017) In 2027 these nights begin on the evening of 28 February.

Zakat al Fitr and Eid Prayer

Zakat al Fitr must be paid before the Eid prayer. Many Canadian mosques announce the amount per person, usually near the price of a local staple food sized portion. Eid prayers in cold weather often run in several shifts, so arrive early and check the mosque schedule. Read more on our Eid and Zakat pages.

Common Mistakes When Using a Ramadan Timetable

First, do not mix timetables from different cities. Second, check whether your mosque uses the 15 degree or 18 degree Fajr angle. Third, remember that a printed table cannot replace a moon sighting announcement. Fourth, set your alarm for sehri earlier than the Fajr time, not at it. Finally, save a backup copy offline, because mosque websites can be slow on the first night.
