It's impossible to find a time where England, Canada and New Zealand all
have night.

A solar eclipse isn't night, it's shade.

At extreme latitudes the sun takes longer to sink under the horizon,
making the sunsets last longer.
And in the summer you can get sunset-like effects all through the night.

A solar eclipse only covers a very small area. And even in the deepest
winter, only a small part of Canada have 24 hours of night (and at that
time, souther New Zealand have long days).
