Canada reporting cycles and business-day rules
Canadian business-day cycles align with the Bank of Canada Lynx high-value clearing window (08:30 to 18:00 Eastern) and Payments Canada AFT files settling next-business-day. CRA monthly remittance schedules vary by employer size: accelerated remitters file three-business-day windows after each pay period, regular remitters file by the 15th of the following month. Canada Day, Labour Day, and Remembrance Day close federal offices but provincial observance varies, so multi-province contracts often default to the federal-only set this calculator implements.
