Canada post has launched a national strike that will cause postal delays
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has launched a national strike on September 25, 2025 following goverment announcement on Canada Post's transformation.
Canada Post’s operations will shut down during a national strike, affecting millions of Canadians and businesses across the country.
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 are suspended for items already in the postal network. We have notified customers that their scheduled pickups have been cancelled. No new items will be accepted until the national disruption is over.
All mail and parcels in the postal network will be secured and delivered as quickly as possible once operations resume. However, a national strike of any length will impact service to Canadians well after the strike activity ends. Processing and delivery may take some time to fully return to normal.
