Ekadashi tithi at local sunrise (Udaya) — the Smarta rule; when Dashami touches Arunodaya (96 minutes before sunrise) Vaishnavas fast the next day. Parana (breaking the fast) the next morning after sunrise, after Hari Vasara and before Dwadashi ends.
Padma Purana: sin resides in grain (especially rice) on Ekadashi; the vrat destroys sin, grants Vishnu's realm and the fulfilment of wishes; Nirjala Ekadashi (Jyeshtha Shukla) alone gives the fruit of all 24; the Ekadashis of Chaturmas from Devshayani to Devuthani are special; Mokshada (Gita Jayanti), Putrada (children), Jaya-Vijaya (success), Amalaki (the amla tree), Papmochani.
The timing rule of the vrat: the day with the udaya tithi (Ekadashi at sunrise) is the vrat day; if Ekadashi touches two sunrises (tithi vriddhi), Smartas keep the first day, Vaishnavas the second; if it is Dashami-viddha (a part of Dashami before sunrise) Vaishnavas take the next day — hence panchangs sometimes list 'Smarta/Vaishnava Ekadashi' separately; the dates above follow the Smarta (householder) rule.
24 in Canada (Toronto). Lunar months do not align with the calendar year, so the count can be 23 or 25.
13 of the 24 dates differ from India for Toronto, because the tithi is judged at the local moment (sunrise/moonrise/Pradosh) and Canada is hours away from India in time.
The main date is the Smarta (householder, Udaya-tithi) date. When Dashami touches Arunodaya, or on a Mahadwadashi, the Vaishnava date is one day later — shown as a tag in the table.
Next morning after sunrise, after Hari Vasara (the first quarter of Dwadashi) and before Dwadashi ends — the window is computed for each city in the table.
When the Ekadashi is Dashami-viddha (a part of Dashami just before sunrise) or touches two sunrises, Vaishnavas (ISKCON, Srivaishnavas, Madhvas) fast on the next day (the pure Ekadashi), Smarta householders on the first; panchangs list both; follow your sect — the list above is Smarta.
Yes — many women keep both Ekadashis; during menstruation no touching the puja, but the fruit rule can be kept (traditions differ); fruit, milk and fruit in pregnancy and breastfeeding; waterless only for the healthy; the essence of the vrat is restraint and remembrance, not suffering.
Chaitra: Papmochani (K), Kamada (S); Vaishakha: Varuthini, Mohini; Jyeshtha: Apara, Nirjala; Ashadha: Yogini, Devshayani; Shravana: Kamika, Putrada; Bhadrapada: Aja, Parivartini; Ashwin: Indira, Papankusha; Kartika: Rama, Devuthani; Margashirsha: Utpanna, Mokshada; Pausha: Saphala, Putrada; Magha: Shattila, Jaya; Phalguna: Vijaya, Amalaki; Adhika month: Parama (K), Padmini (S) — by the Purnimanta month reckoning (in the Amanta reckoning each Krishna-paksha Ekadashi is counted in the previous month); every date in the list above carries its name.
