I'm moving: do I have to redirect my mail with Canada Post ?
When moving to new home, it is not a necessity to have your mail redirected using Canada Post.
So I don’t have to inform the post office of my new address? The answer is very simple: Canada Post offers a paid service to have your mail redirected to your new address – it’s a Mail Forwarding service. Although it is still mandatory to make your changes of address when you move, redirecting your mail is an optional service.
