OTTAWA – Postage rates rise on January 14, with the price for stamps purchased in a booklet, coil or pane for domestic Lettermail^TM items weighing 30 grams or less increasing to $0.90, up from $0.85. The price of a single domestic stamp will increase to $1.05, up from $1.00.

While usage varies, Canada Post estimates the impact of the price increases to be less than a dollar a year for the average Canadian household and about $14 a year for the typical small business. Prices will also increase for mail to the U.S. and international destinations, and for domestic Registered Mail^TM.

The increases are the first for letter mail since March 31, 2014. Canadians can avoid the increases by purchasing Permanent^TM stamps at the current rate before the new rates take effect. Under the federal regulatory process, Canada Post publicly proposed the increases in the Canada Gazette Part I in June of 2018.
