Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Canada
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day suhoor and iftar times across 8 cities.
How Canada decides
Practice varies across Canada: some communities rely on a local moon sighting, while others follow a calculation or Saudi Arabia's announcement.
ICNA Canada and most major Canadian Islamic organizations follow the Fiqh Council of North America's pre-calculated astronomical criteria, the same body used in the US, and announce dates in advance. The Hilal Committee of Metropolitan Toronto & Vicinity and some local mosques instead wait for an actual crescent sighting, which can fall a day later. The FCNA date is recorded here as canonical.
