Troubleshooting Common Issues<\/h2>\n

\u2022 No Canada option?<\/i> Older Outlook versions might not list it\u2014try downloading a .ICS file from official sources like Canada.ca and importing it.
\n\u2022 Holidays not syncing?<\/i> Double-check your time zone settings or re-import the file.
\n\u2022 Too many holidays?<\/i> Customize by deleting non-observance days (looking at you, Heritage Day!).<\/p>\n

Bonus: Syncing Across Devices<\/h2>\n

Added holidays to Outlook desktop? They\u2019ll auto-sync to the mobile app if you\u2019re logged into the same account. If not, manually sync or re-import on your phone.<\/p>\n
