Holiday closures at Service Canada and the CRA may cause delays in application processing and benefit payments. During statutory holidays, the in‑person and call‑centre passport offices are closed, which can extend wait times for your passport, EI, CPP, OAS, tax inquiries, and other federal programs. Submitting documents early and checking online portals can help minimize disruptions. Plan ahead to avoid delays and stay informed about updated service schedules.
