Time and Date Format for Canada
Canadian Standard CAN Z234-4 specifies numeric representations of date and time. The recommended full format is as follows:
- 2010-12-31 13:59:28.73 UTC.
- Year-Month-Day Hour Minutes Seconds
It is compatible with International Standard ISO 8601. This standard notation helps to avoid confusion in international communication caused by the many different national notations. In addition, these formats have several important advantages for computer usage compared to other traditional date and time notations. The time notation described in ISO 8601 is already the de-facto standard in almost all countries and the date notation is becoming increasingly popular.
