I think the aversion (I'm hearing) to this method or mine is that even
though the GMT value is retrievable it is not accounted for in the actual
time . I think it would be easy enough to change the time into it's raw
number add or subtract based on the GMT value, then change it back into a
CTime, but I haven't needed to do that so there may be more to it.

In the old days we'd simply written

int year, month, day;
int hour, minute, second;
int tz_hour, tz_minute;
char *p = "2009-01-23T11:57:26+06:00";

sscanf(p, "%d-%d-%dT%d:%d:%d%d:%d",
&year, &month, &day,
&hour, &minute, &second,
&tz_hour, &tz_minute );

That works with positive as negative TZ values as well. I'm not sure
about an official definition of that string format. If there are
differences it would fail. sscanf() is deprecated and there is also
unicode these days, so sscanf_s() or swscanf_s() would be the choice
today.
