Digital accessibility

    Making our online tools and services accessible

    We recognize that Canadians, as well as individuals around the world, are interacting with us in different ways. We’re working to make sure this interaction is accessible to all of our customers.

    Website and digital products

    Our digital team uses the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and its recent updates in WCAG 2.1 to inform our web experience.

    Documents, videos and external websites

    We’re updating our PDF documents to make them more accessible. Contact us if you have any difficulty with an online form and we’ll try to provide an alternate method of completion.

    Video content

    All of our videos are uploaded on YouTube, offering all the accessibility features available on YouTube. All of our videos include closed captioning.

    Third-party websites

    While we can’t control the digital presence of our partners, we do encourage these vendors to create accessible online experiences.

    Mobile app

    The Canada Post mobile app is available for download on all Apple and Android devices. In 2019, it will be undergoing an audit by a third-party to assess its present accessibility. Based on these results, our digital team will be trained to identify and implement additional accessible processes within the app.

    Please share your comments and suggestions about the accessibility of our mobile app using the following channels:

    • Submit feedback directly in the app. Access the feedback page through settings.
    • Send the mobile team an email at mobile.apps@canadapost.ca.
