  • You can send up to $10,000 in cash via First-Class Mail or Priority Mail.
  • For amounts over $10,000, you'll need to use a more secure service, such as Registered Mail or Certified Mail, which requires a signature upon delivery.
  • Cash sent via Priority Mail Express is limited to $5,000.

Canada Post

Tips and precautions

• When sending cash in the mail, it's essential to take precautions to ensure the cash is protected:
  • Use a secure envelope or package with a tamper-evident seal.
  • Consider using a tracking service, such as Registered Mail or Certified Mail, which provides proof of delivery and insurance.
  • Keep a record of the tracking number and the amount of cash sent.
  • Consider using a money transfer service, such as Western Union or MoneyGram, which can be more secure and convenient.

Remember to always check with your local postal service for specific regulations and guidelines on sending cash in the mail.
