Canada Post proposes new postage rates for 2025. Price of a domestic stamp would rise 25 cents in move to better align with rising cost of providing the service
While rate increases are necessary, Canada Post understands that they mean additional costs for customers, and the Corporation works to minimize the impact. For the average Canadian household, the rate increase is estimated to have an impact of $2.26 per year. For the average Canadian small business, the estimated impact is $42.17 per year.1 Permanent™ stamps will always be accepted at the current domestic postage price.
Further details
For a domestic letter (30 grams or less), the price of a single stamp would increase from $1.15 to $1.44. When purchased in a booklet, coil or pane, the price would increase from 99 cents to $1.24 per stamp.
The proposed rate changes would also affect other products, including U.S., international letter-post and domestic Registered Mail™ items, with a corresponding increase of about 25 per cent on average. Commercial letter mail rates follow regulated rates and would also see an increase of about 25 per cent on average.
The proposed rates were published 2024-09-06 for public comment in Part I of the Canada Gazette. Subject to regulatory approvals, the new rates would take effect January 13, 2025.
My comment: As expected. I HIGHLY recommend checking the Canada Gazette chart on price increases.
