In most calendar systems, the date consists of three parts: the day of month, month, and the year. There may also be additional parts, such as the day of week. There are different formats of calendar dates in Canada and here are just the most frequently used ones. Using the dd/mm/yy format, the 20th of November 2006 would be written as 20/11/2006. Using the yyyy-mm-dd format, the 20th of November 2006 would be written as 2006/11/20. Both of these standards are commonly used in Canada though the former one is used more widely. You can also meet m/d/y format (11/20/06 correspondingly) in Canada, though most official documents use the y-m-d format, the m/d/y format is also understood due to influences from the United States. Canada also has its own format of calendar date which is the yyyy-mmm-dd format (2006-NOV-20).
