Canada National Strike

Title: Canada – National Strike

Update: Effective Friday, November 29, 2024, USPS will not accept mail or packages for delivery to Canada for any mail class due to the ongoing Canadian Union of Postal Workers strike.
This service disruption affects Priority Mail Express International® (PMEI), Priority Mail International® (PMI), First-Class Mail International® (FCMI), First-Class Package International Service® (FCPIS), International Priority Airmail® (IPA), International Surface Air Lift® (ISAL), Commercial ePacket® (CeP), and M-Bag® items.

Update: 11/28/24 – Canada Post kindly asks to temporarily stop sending all mail to Canada. This request is being made as a result of the ongoing national strike by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. Owing to the strike, there is no movement of mail within Canada. International items received as of 15 November are being held in secure containers and have not been processed. Therefore, no scans of any sort are available at this time, including at item and receptacle level. When service resumes, items currently being stored will be inducted, processed and delivered as quickly as possible on a first-in, first-out basis. However, customers should expect delays as Canada Post processes the backlog and stabilizes its operations. Canada Post remains committed to arriving at a negotiated agreement with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. Canada Post thanks all for their understanding and cooperation.

Update: The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has issued a strike notice, planning to start strike action on Friday, November 15, at 12:01 a.m. ET if no agreement is reached. If a strike takes place, shipments sent through GlobalPost should not experience any delays or disruption.
