Rollout schedule
Hotfix availability depends on your application version and whether your environment is managed through Lifecycle Services (LCS) or Power Platform admin center (PPAC).
As of October 30, 2026:
These dates are estimates and may change. Power Platform admin center availability is not yet confirmed. Each update includes the required platform and application fixes.
See the following published Known Issues for current availability, instructions, and workarounds:
How does this affect me?
These changes affect users and business processes that rely on local times in the affected Canadian regions. Without the required hotfixes and updated time-zone settings, those users may see incorrect local times, and scheduled processes may run at the wrong local time.
After the November 1, 2026, transition, affected users may see incorrect local times in the apps unless they select the appropriate new region-specific time zone. These updates add support for the new region-specific time zones.
The updates add the following region-specific time zones:
Apply the applicable hotfixes to your environment through LCS or PPAC when available. Affected users must then select the appropriate new region-specific time zone in their user preferences. Installing the hotfix does not automatically change their existing selection.
If the hotfix is not yet available for your environment, follow the temporary workaround in the Known Issue page in LCS or Power Platform admin center. The workaround applies after the November 1, 2026, transition. Times shown for past or future dates may still be incorrect.
After applying the hotfix, replace any temporary time-zone selection with the appropriate newly added region-specific time zone.
Check that time-sensitive business processes and scheduled jobs work as expected, especially those spanning the November 1, 2026, change.
