Canada Post have informed us via Royal Mail International that they have received escalated strike notices from the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) meaning that all Canada Posts’ operations will be shut down during the national strike affecting all carriers which rely on Canada Post for final mile delivery.
The duration of the industrial action is currently unknown. Canada Post have confirmed that no new items will be accepted into their network until the national disruption is over, and have asked Royal Mail International not to despatch any items from the UK to Canada.
Royal Mail services to Canada will be suspended from 29 September 2025 until further notice.
Canada Post have informed us that any items sent during this time will be returned to sender.
Royal Mail International are in regular communication with Canada Post and will update us as a business customer further on this as soon as they can.
As you can hopefully appreciate, this is a situation completely out of our (Assassin Graphics) control. Orders for our Canadian customers will still be processed as normal but will held from shipping until we have been given the green light from Royal Mail International. FYI.. we can’t even try and generate dispatch labels for Canada and post it out ‘fingers crossed’ as Canada as a destination has been withdrawn from the postal system at this time.
