Source: Canada Revenue Agency tax deadlines for 2026 and 2027; the RRSP and T4 dates are worked out from CRA's 60-day and next-business-day rules. If a date falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline is usually the next working day; the dates above already allow for that where the tax authority says so.
