“People are starting to receive their mail,” Canada Post announced in a press release Wednesday afternoon.
The 55,000 employees of the state-owned company returned to work on Tuesday, since the Canada Industrial Relations Board, mandated by Ottawa, suspended the strike until May 2025.
Post offices are therefore open again, and Canadians “can drop off their packages and letters there,” the company announced.
People who need to collect items from the counter have “15 days, starting December 17,” to do so, after which time they will be “returned to sender.”
However, you will have to wait until December 23 to send mail abroad.
Patience for the return to normal
Canada Post reminds that “stabilization of operations will take time”.
“Delivery delays should be expected for the remainder of 2024 and into January 2025.”

The company also reiterates that items “are processed on a first in, first out basis.”
Santa won’t answer
Letters to Santa Claus, on the other hand, “are treated with particular attention,” assures Canada Post.
“In our establishments, readers are configured to locate letters to Santa, which are identified by the postal code HOH OHO. This is what allows us to deliver these letters directly to the North Pole.”
They will therefore all be “posted no later than December 23”. But “Santa Claus won’t have time” to answer them this year.
