Paperwork deadlines: one date in, your whole schedule out
Four situations, one date each. The tool composes every deadline this site tracks for that situation into calendar dates, and shows the rule and the official source beside each one.

What this tool will not do
Compute a date from a business-day rule.Open this section ↓↑ Close this section- ✗Compute a date from a business-day rule. Those need a holiday calendar to get right, so the rule renders as text.
- ✗Compute termination dates for tenancy notices. Those are handled descriptively on the notice pages, not calculated here.
- ✗Work out how long someone has to start a court claim. That is never computed here.

Common Questions
Where do these dates come from?Open this section ↓↑ Close this sectionWhere do these dates come from?
Each one is computed from a published rule that already appears on Guidepost, and the rule text plus its official source link renders beside every date. The tool does not hold any deadline of its own: it reads them from the province and program data the rest of the site uses.
Why do some items show a rule instead of a date?
Three kinds of rule are deliberately never turned into a date. Business-day counts need a holiday calendar to compute honestly. Some deadlines run from an event with no fixed date, such as when a certificate is issued. And some provinces publish no day-count at all, only a requirement to act before driving or before a service. In each case the rule renders as the rule.
How is a month-based rule counted?
Health-coverage rules that begin on the first day of a later month ignore the day of the month entirely: arriving on the 4th or the 27th produces the same start date. Rules that add a number of months keep the same day of the month, and where that day does not exist in the target month the date falls on the last day of that month rather than rolling into the next one.
Does this replace checking with the agency?
No. These are estimates composed from published rules, and rules change. Every date renders with its source so it can be confirmed before anyone relies on it.
