Whether you're a native or a sojourner, living in the Great White North may make you feel millions of miles away from friends and loved ones when holidays come around. Cards can help.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Address your cards clearly - and remember to put U.S.A. after the ZIP code.
Step2
Take them to a Poste Canada outlet. These franchised outlets are located in many Shoppers Drug Marts and 7-Elevens.
Step3
Put a 55-cent stamp and a blue "air mail/par avion" sticker on each one.
Step4
Hand them to the clerk behind the counter or drop them in a box.

Tips & Warnings

  • First-class (55-cent) stamps will cover almost all "normal" mail, but if your cards are oversize or if you're including photographs or other items, check with the clerk to make sure.
  • Mail from Canada to the States usually takes at least a week and can take two. Remember to allow extra time because of the holidays.
