How to send a fax after business hours

Option 1: send it right away

Most fax machines and fax services answer around the clock, so a fax sent at night is usually received immediately and waits on the tray or in an inbox. Sending tonight also gives you a time-stamped delivery receipt showing it arrived before the deadline.

1. Scan or photograph the document with your phone, or save it as a PDF on your computer.
2. Open FaxToFax.com in any browser and sign in with your email and one-time code.
3. Attach the file and add a cover page with your name, phone number and the page count.
4. Enter the fax number and check it when it is confirmed before sending.
5. Send, and wait for the status to show Delivered. If it shows Failed, it used no pages; check the number and try again, or switch to scheduling.

Time zones and holidays across Canada

• Canada spans six time zones, including Newfoundland's, which is half an hour off the zones next to it. A 9 a.m. fax from Vancouver arrives at noon in Toronto and 1:30 p.m. in St. John's.
• Statutory holidays differ by province. Family Day, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day in Quebec and the August civic holiday are not observed everywhere, so check before scheduling.
• Federal offices may be closed on days provincial offices are open, and the reverse.
• For faxes to the United States, remember that U.S. holidays such as Thanksgiving fall on different dates from Canada's.
