Canada Post reveals shipping deadlines for the 2023 holiday season

The craze of the holiday season is approaching quickly, and Canada Post has announced its shipping deadlines for the 2023 holiday season.

These deadlines are based on the assumption that you’ll want your present to the recipient by December 24, 2023; however, Canada Post says you should check its service alerts site for delivery service impacts and updates.

Canada Post added that the dates are between major urban centres and depend on origin and destination. Some restrictions apply.
