2027 payroll calendar

2027 payroll calendar for Canada

Canadian direct deposits settle through Payments Canada's ACSS, which is closed on weekends and on the federal days in the Payments Canada schedule. Provincial holidays like Family Day or the Civic Holiday don't close it, so those are normal paydays.

Biweekly, starting January 1

The January 1 payday moves into 2026: it's paid on Thursday, December 31, 2026. Wages are reported in the year they're paid, so that check counts toward 2026, not 2027.
