when is the next federal election in canada 2023

The next federal election in Canada is scheduled to take place on April 28, 2025. This election was called after the dissolution of Parliament by the Governor General on March 23, 2025, following the advice of Prime Minister Mark Carney. This date is earlier than the usual fixed date for federal elections, which is the third Monday in October in the fourth calendar year after the last election, typically October 20, 2025. However, elections can be called earlier under certain circumstances such as government dissolution.
