Working Culture and Holidays in Canada
Canada's work week is Monday to Friday, generally 9am to 5pm, though public holidays are set provincially as well as federally, meaning the exact holiday count can vary depending on which province a business operates in. Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec each observe a handful of provincial-only holidays such as Family Day or Fête nationale. Thanksgiving in Canada falls in October rather than November, distinct from the US holiday of the same name, and Boxing Day on December 26 is widely observed as a shopping holiday.
Public Holidays in Canada (2026)
Canada observes 10 public holidays in 2026. These are automatically excluded when you use our calculator with Canada selected.
