Canada Post mail service disruption
We encourage all political entities to use the Political Entities Service Centre, Elections Canada's secure online portal, to submit financial returns and documents. Courier services can also be used as an alternative to regular mail.
Entities should be mindful of the service delays and plan accordingly to ensure they submit their documents on time.
