Canada Post is preparing to convert an additional 485,000 homes across Canada from door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes in 2027, as part of the Crown corporation’s attempt to modernize and return to financial self-sustainability.
Friday I got a parcel from China in my mailbox, because it was sent via normal mail, not UPS/FedEx.
My daughter was opening a bank account with a partner, they needed ID and a utility bill that had the mailing address printed on it.
Paper address mailings are also used for citizenship and other matters as a way to help ensure you are in the country and picking up mail, rather than online fraud.
For CRA password account reset they paper mail you a code to stop online scams.
Court notice papers can legit be served by mail.
My strata ( by law ) has to mail certain documents like AGM info to residents, as electronic notification doesn’t count for some specific things.
And so on.
As for your e savvy person. Great. My my old aunts don’t have a cell phone or computer.
Also say you can’t afford and ISP, you can’t get electronic info at home, but mail comes free
Canada Post usage is down to less than half. An average household receives two pieces of mail a week. The service, as it is currently funded, is not rational. It is over staffed and hugely overpriced.
