Letter & document services to meet your needs
Regardless of the final destination, there are always two crucial factors to consider when sending a letter or document:
- Time sensitivity of your letter - does it need to get there in a rush?
- Is it an important document that requires additional options such as signature upon receipt, or tracking?
Based on your preferences & destination, Canada Post has a service that will meet your needs.
