What are the holidays in Canada and how do they differ?

All Canadian holidays are divided into three types:

Federal holidays.
Provincial holidays.
Optional holidays.

Federal holidays are not regulated by provincial governments. They are observed by those who work in an area regulated by the federal government. Currently, about 6% of the working population in Canada is employed in such areas. These include post offices, banks, air transport, etc. You can find a full list of such areas here: List of federally regulated industries and jobs (in English).

Provincial holidays are regulated by provincial governments. Federal holidays are usually included in their number, but may have a different name. Provincial holidays are mandatory days off for all residents of the province (except emergency services, critical infrastructure workers, etc.).

Optional holidays are also set by provincial governments. However, residents do not have the right to a mandatory day off. Companies and institutions can decide for themselves whether this date will be a regular working day.
