Temporary Service Disruption
The designated operator of Canada, Canada Post, has asked for countries to temporarily stop sending all mail to Canada. This request is being made as a result of the ongoing national strike by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. Owing to the strike, there is no movement of mail within Canada. International items received as of Nov. 15 are being held in secure containers and have not been processed. Therefore, no scans of any sort are available at this time, including at item and receptacle level. When service resumes, items currently being stored will be inducted, processed and delivered as quickly as possible on a first-in, first-out basis. However, customers should expect delays as Canada Post processes the backlog and stabilizes its operations. Regular updates on all postal service disruptions in Canada are available at canadapost.ca/negotiations. Canada Post remains committed to arriving at a negotiated agreement with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. Canada Post thanks all Union member countries and their designated operators for their understanding and cooperation.
