There is no legislated deadlines for employment offers in Canada, with the exception for government postings.
Three business days seems like a reasonable amount of time, provided you can ensure the offer was received (read receipt, actual conversation) and you are open to some flexibility. I can see a scenario where a candidate needs to confer with their partner or budget out moving expenses that might force them to ask for more time.
