Canada Post Mail Forwarding 

Canada Post offers a mail forwarding system for a set period of time.  They usually need about 10-14 days advance notice to guarantee forwarding for a specific date. Depending on how long you have been at your current address, how much paper mail you receive and how diligent you are at updating your contacts, you may elect a short or longer period of automatic forwarding to your new home to ensure no future documents get missed.

What type of mail is forwarded?

When you purchase Mail Forwarding, Lettermail™, Registered Mail™ and magazines addressed to your original address will be forwarded.
Parcels (e.g. Expedited Parcel™, Regular Parcel™) and prepaid envelopes are excluded from this service. If you’re expecting parcel deliveries you must advise the sender(s) of your new address, even when you have the Mail Forwarding service in place.
