Prayer times in Montréal

Which way to face

From Montréal, the Qibla is 59 degrees from true north, measured as a great circle to the Kaaba. A phone compass reads magnetic north, which differs from true north by a few degrees in most places, so treat a compass reading as close rather than exact.

How these times are calculated

These use the ISNA convention, 15 degrees for both Fajr and Isha. It is the standard most mosques in Canada follow, and the shallower angle produces noticeably later Fajr and earlier Isha than the European standards at the same latitude.

Across the year

In Montréal Fajr ranges from 03:06 at the height of summer to 06:05 in deep winter, a spread of about 179 minutes. The shift is gradual, a minute or so every few days, which is why a monthly table is more useful than a single day's figures.
