The mission of the Postal Transformation program is the “renewal of Canada Post’s physical and electronic network to create the Modern Post.”
Our goals are to modernize and/or replace obsolete plants, equipment and processes, improve efficiency, productivity and employee safety and to build a foundation for new and improved service offering capabilities.

Modern equipment means faster processing times and less downtime
Canada Post relies heavily on automated mail sorting equipment to deliver affordable and quality service. We are replacing aging equipment within our sorting plants with new state-of-the-art mail processing equipment capable of automating the sequencing of short and long mail to a much finer degree.
Some of the benefits of these changes include:
- Improved processing of mail
- Modern equipment means faster processing times (approximately 25% faster than our current equipment) and less downtime.
- Reduced manual handling and more streamlined processes.
- Streamlined delivery model.
- Enhancements to current offerings
- New Machineable Mail presort option (January 2011).
- Richer and more timely information on tracking parcels/packets.
- Improved visibility of mail.
- Improved bar code reading performance and recognition of addresses.
- Faster redirection of mail
- Ability for ‘inline’ redirection resulting in faster turnaround.
- Ability for parcel redirection is also in the planning stage.
- Improved address management
- Improved address management resulting in reduction of undeliverable mail and better return on investment.
