Further to EmIS 224/2025, the designated operator of Canada, Canada Post, wishes to inform Union member countries and their designated operators that it has welcomed back employees represented by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), with effect from 11 October 2025, as the union moves from a full national strike to rotating strikes. To ensure a safe and orderly resumption of national operations, Canada Post invites designated operators to resume sending mail to Canada from 13 October 2025. Despite the resumption of postal services, there will still be some uncertainty and instability owing to the union’s decision to conduct rotating strikes. Customers should expect delays and occasional interruptions to service during the rotating strikes, as Canada Post processes the backlog and stabilizes its operations. Canada Post will employ its best efforts to restore the normal flow of mail items through its network as soon as possible.
