Canada International Service Suspension

Effective Nov. 29, 2024, the Postal Service will temporarily suspend international mail acceptance to Canada due to the foreign postal operator indicating that they are unable to process or deliver international mail or services as a result of the ongoing national strike by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. Customers are asked to refrain from mailing items addressed to Canada until further notice. Learn more
