Canada Post has stated that these adjustments are necessary to offset the rising costs of maintaining postal services across the country. Despite these increases, stamp prices in Canada remain among the lowest internationally.
Customers can continue to use their Permanent™ stamps, which will always be accepted at the current domestic postage price.
