Fast answer
To mail a letter online to Canada, upload the finished PDF, enter the sender address and the recipient's address in Canada, and review the printable document. PostalForm checks the destination, page count, file size, and selected services before showing the final price. Nothing is mailed until you approve and pay for the order.
Carrier and local delivery in Canada
PostalForm prepares eligible Canadian letters through its North American print-and-mail network. Final-mile delivery is handled by Canada Post; some cross-border production routes can enter the postal network through USPS before the Canadian handoff. Checkout confirms the route available for the actual addresses and document.
Available mailing options
- Standard mail for ordinary Canadian delivery.
- Expedited mail when the address and document qualify.
- Canada Post Registered Mail when you need a proof-oriented service.
Registered Mail cannot be combined with expedited delivery in the same order. PostalForm does not currently expose a separate signature add-on for Canadian expedited orders.
How to mail your letter online
- Prepare the final letter as one PDF, including signatures and attachments.
- Upload the PDF using the file selector on this page.
- Enter the recipient's complete mailing address in Canada and your return address.
- Review the rendered pages, print settings, available delivery services, and exact price.
- Pay only after the address, document, and mailing option are correct. PostalForm then prints, envelopes, posts, and tracks the production handoff.
Address and document requirements
Enter the full Canadian address, including the municipality, province or territory, and six-character postal code. Upload one finished PDF with its pages already ordered. PostalForm validates the addresses, page count, document size, and selected service before payment.
Pricing and delivery estimates
The price depends on the PDF page count, color or black-and-white printing, single- or double-sided printing, destination, and selected delivery or proof service. PostalForm shows the exact price and an estimated delivery window before payment. Carrier dates are estimates rather than guarantees, and registered or certified proof services cannot be combined with expedited delivery.
How you can pay
PostalForm mail orders are priced in U.S. dollars. Checkout accepts major debit and credit cards and, on compatible devices and accounts, can show Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Link. Canadian pre-authorized debit is enabled in PostalForm's Stripe account, but it does not support the manual authorization used before mail fulfillment, so it is not currently offered for these orders. The payment methods displayed at checkout are authoritative.
Sources
Carrier and service descriptions are based on the Canada Post Registered Mail overview, the PostGrid mail API service documentation, and PostalForm's configured routes. Checkout confirms actual eligibility.
Payment-method availability is based on Stripe's payment-method support matrix and dynamic payment-method eligibility rules.

- Can I mail a letter to Canada without a printer?
- Yes. Upload the completed PDF and PostalForm handles printing, the envelope, postage, and carrier handoff.

- Can I use expedited or registered mail to Canada?
- Eligible Canadian orders can use expedited delivery or Canada Post Registered Mail. Registered and expedited services cannot be combined, and PostalForm does not currently offer a separate Canadian signature add-on.
- Will I see the price before the letter is mailed?
- Yes. PostalForm validates the document and addresses, then shows the eligible mailing options and exact order price before payment.
- Which payment methods can I use?
- You can pay in U.S. dollars with an eligible debit or credit card. Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Link can also appear when supported. Canadian pre-authorized debit is enabled at the Stripe-account level but is not compatible with PostalForm's current mail-order authorization flow.
