Canadian prices are shown before tax because the tax depends on the recipient's province. The tax is calculated at checkout and appears as its own separate line — the letter price itself is fixed.
Canadian tax rules base the tax on where the letter is going (the recipient's province). Here's what gets added at checkout on a letter to each province or territory:
| Recipient's province / territory | Tax | Total on a C$6.15 letter |
|---|---|---|
| Ontario | 13% HST | C$6.95 |
| New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island | 15% HST | C$7.07 |
| Nova Scotia | 14% HST | C$7.01 |
| Quebec | 14.975% GST + QST | C$7.07 |
| Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon | 5% GST | C$6.46 |
Example: a one-page black & white letter to Ontario is C$6.15 + C$0.80 HST = C$6.95 total. US letters are never taxed — this applies to Canadian addresses only.

Yes — registered mail includes tracking status you can check after the letter is mailed. Ask the assistant you sent it through for the latest status. Standard Canadian letters don't include tracking.

Use registered mail for letters where tracking matters — legal documents, contracts, government correspondence, or anything valuable or time-critical. For everyday letters, standard mail at C$6.15 before tax is the economical choice.

What's the difference between registered and standard mail in Canada?
Standard mail (from C$6.15 before tax) is untracked, like a regular stamped letter. Registered mail (from C$51.12 before tax) is tracked with status you can check. Both are printed and mailed the same way; registered adds the tracking and extra handling.
Can I cancel a registered letter?
You can cancel while the fulfilment window is still open — ask your assistant to cancel the job. Once printing has started, the letter can't be cancelled.
