We do not list 2025 dates for retailers that have not published 2026 ones, because we could not confirm them from an official source.

When does Amazon.ca Black Friday 2026 start?

Not yet announced. Amazon’s newsroom did publish dates for the United States last year: its Nov. 9, 2025 release said its Black Friday Week and Cyber Monday deal events were “kicking off November 20” and running through Dec. 1. That release covers the United States, not Canada, so it does not tell us what Amazon.ca will do in 2026. Our Amazon Black Friday 2026 story tracks the US dates, and the UK Black Friday 2026 story covers the same day in Britain.

Is Black Friday a holiday in Canada?

No. The Government of Canada’s page on annual vacations and general holidays for employees of federally regulated employers lists 10 general holidays: New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Thanksgiving Day, Remembrance Day, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Black Friday is not on that federal list. The page covers federal jurisdiction only, so check your province or employer for other days off.

How can you check that a Black Friday deal is real?

The Competition Bureau Canada says a seller must have a real “ordinary selling price” before it advertises a discount from it. Its page sets out two tests, and a price must meet at least one of them:

  • Volume test: “More than 50% of sales of the product were at that price or higher within a reasonable period (usually within a year).”
  • Time test: “The product was offered for sale, in good faith, at that price or higher for a substantial period of time.”

In a Nov. 25, 2025 news release, the Bureau said “businesses cannot invent a higher regular price to make a sale look like a bargain when it’s not.” It added: “Also known as fake ordinary selling price, this practice can mislead consumers and violates the Competition Act.”

A shopper cannot see a store’s sales volume, but can look at how long the “regular” price has been on the shelf or page. The planner has a line for it.

What are Canada Post’s 2026 holiday mailing deadlines?

Canada Post’s “Plan your holiday sending” page lists these 2026 dates. They apply “between major urban centres and are dependent on origin and destination. Some restrictions apply.” The full list is in our Canada Post holiday shipping deadlines story.
