Canada Post Strike

Strike Announced

On November 15th, 2024, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) announced a national strike that will cause service delays for all Canadians. Canada Post’s operations are shut down during this national strike, affecting millions of Canadians and businesses across the country.

Customers should expect delays

Customers will experience delays due to the strike activity. Mail and parcels will not be processed or delivered for the duration of the national strike, and some post offices will be closed. Service guarantees will be impacted for items already in the postal network. No new items will be accepted until the national disruption is over.

Items will be delivered as quickly as possible once operations resume

All mail and parcels in the postal network will be secured and delivered as quickly as possible on a first-in, first-out basis once operations resume. However, a national strike of any length will impact service to Canadians well after the strike activity ends. Shutting down facilities across the country will affect Canada Post’s entire national network. Processing and delivery may take some time to fully return to normal.
