Workday announced plans to invest CAD $1 billion in Canada over the next five years to expand its Canadian operations, grow local technology talent, and strengthen support for its rapidly expanding customer base. The investment will focus on areas such as AI development, engineering, product innovation, and customer support, reinforcing Canada’s role as one of Workday’s largest global markets, with more than 1,100 employees and over 500 customers.

As part of the initiative, Workday will also join Canada’s “With Glowing Hearts” reservist registry, committing to support Canadian Armed Forces reservists through protected leave and flexible work arrangements. The company currently operates offices across Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria, Montreal, and Calgary, providing services in both Canadian English and French, and aligning its growth strategy with Canada’s push toward responsible AI and digital self-reliance.
