Aktuelle Uhrzeit in Montréal, Kanada — EDT.

Montreal is the largest city in the province of Quebec, the second-largest in Canada, and the eighth-largest in North America. Founded in 1642 as Ville-Marie, or "City of Mary", it now takes its name from Mount Royal, the triple-peaked mountain around which the early settlement was built. The city is centred on the Island of Montreal and a few, much smaller, peripheral islands, the largest of which is Île Bizard. It lies 196 kilometres (122 mi) east of the national capital, Ottawa, and 258 kilometres (160 mi) southwest of the provincial capital, Quebec City.

Distance-wise, Montréal is closest to New York (~534 km), Los Angeles (~3,965 km), London (~5,222 km); Sydney is the far end at roughly 16,028 km. That ordering matters more than the timezone label for travel planning.
