Canada post mail on hold

Canada Post's "Mail on Hold" service is a convenient way to temporarily suspend mail delivery to your address. Here's how it works:

Why would you want to put your mail on hold?

You might want to put your mail on hold if:

  1. You're going out of town for an extended period and don't want to accumulate mail.
  2. You're moving to a new address and don't want to forward your mail.
  3. You're experiencing a mail theft issue and want to prevent further theft.
  4. You're dealing with a mailroom issue and need to temporarily suspend delivery.

How to put your mail on hold with Canada Post:

  1. Online: Go to Canada Post's website (www.canadapost.ca) and sign in to your account. Click on "Manage Your Account" and then "Mail on Hold" to start the process.
  2. Phone: Call Canada Post's customer service at 1-866-607-6307 (toll-free) and follow the prompts to put your mail on hold.
  3. In-person: Visit your local post office and speak with a representative to put your mail on hold.

What happens when you put your mail on hold:

  1. Canada Post will suspend mail delivery to your address for the specified period (up to 30 days).
  2. Any mail received during the hold period will be returned to the sender or held at the post office for pickup.
  3. You can choose to have your mail held at the post office for pickup or have it returned to the sender.

Important notes:

  1. You can only put your mail on hold for a maximum of 30 days at a time.
  2. You'll need to provide a valid reason for putting your mail on hold.
  3. If you're experiencing a mail theft issue, you may need to provide additional information or documentation to support your request.

Remember to cancel your mail on hold request when you're ready to resume mail delivery to avoid any disruptions.
