The standard weekend in Canada is Saturday and Sunday. In the calculator above, set the "Weekend days" option to match (the calculator defaults to Saturday & Sunday, but you can switch to Friday & Saturday for Israel or other Friday-weekend regions).
Public holidays for Canada are not currently subtracted from the count. For deadline-critical calculations, manually verify against a local holiday calendar. Holiday support is on the roadmap.
