Canada Post Mail Forwarding: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to redirect your mail to a new home or studio address when you move within Canada.
Canada Post Mail Forwarding is a service that automatically redirects your mail from your old address to your new one for a set period.
Who it's for
This service is available to anyone who is moving to a new address.
What you get
When you use this service, your mail is sent to your new home or studio address instead of your old one. This helps ensure you do not miss important letters or documents during your transition.
What it costs you
There is a fee for this service. Prices start at approximately $60 for a four-month period.
The catch to know
Setting up mail forwarding does not update your address with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). You must contact the CRA separately to ensure your official tax and government records reflect your new location.
How to apply
- Visit the official Canada Post website.
- Select the mail forwarding option.
- Provide your old address, your new address, and the date you want the service to start.
- Complete the payment process.
