Canada Post says it plans to raise the price of U.S.-bound and international letter stamps as part of an effort to cover operating costs and become financially self-sustaining, though the amounts have not yet been decided.

Jon Hamilton, the Crown corporation’s vice-president of communications, said the increases would help align customer prices with operating costs and repay some federal assistance, according to reporting by Alyssa Wheeler of The Canadian Press, published by Global News.

The plans come alongside a domestic stamp increase outlined in last week’s federal budget. The price of a single domestic stamp is set to rise from $1.44 to $2 in 2027, followed by annual increases of seven per cent.

The budget also provides another $1.2 billion over seven years to support Canada Post’s transition to community mailboxes.

Canada Post recorded $1.57 billion in pre-tax losses in 2025, its largest annual loss on record, according to its annual report.
