Quebec Business Day Calculator
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026
Calculate business days in Quebec with its own statutory holidays. Quebec shares the Monday to Friday working week and the Saturday and Sunday weekend with the rest of Canada, but its statutory holiday calendar is different, so due dates and deadlines can land differently from the federal count.
How Quebec differs from the federal Canadian holidays
Quebec keeps the most distinct statutory calendar in Canada under the Act respecting labour standards. It replaces Victoria Day with the Journée nationale des patriotes on the same Monday and adds the Fête nationale du Québec (Saint-Jean-Baptiste) on 24 June. Quebec law grants either Good Friday or Easter Monday at the employer's choice; this calculator counts Good Friday, the day banks and markets close nationwide. Boxing Day, Remembrance Day, and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation are not Quebec statutory holidays, so they are dropped from a Quebec count. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
Worked example
Adding 1 business days to Tuesday, June 23, 2026 using Quebec's statutory holidays lands on Thursday, June 25, 2026. With the federal Canadian holidays, the same calculation lands on Wednesday, June 24, 2026: the gap comes from Quebec's own calendar.
