Delivery accommodation program

Delivering more for all Canadians

Canada Post strives to make delivery services accessible to all Canadians. The delivery accommodation program offers a variety of accommodations to support residential customers with functional limitations to access packages and mail.

We offer accommodations that make mailboxes easier to use, and we may be able to provide home delivery where it's difficult for customers to go to their mailbox. Customers residing in cities, suburbs and rural areas are welcome to request accommodation.

Tactile writing or braille

We can add braille and raised letters and numbers to mailbox compartments, parcel compartments and parcel key tags.

Package and mail delivery

Home delivery

Home delivery may be an option for customers who cannot access their packages and mail. Packages are delivered daily. Mail is delivered weekly, on Wednesdays. Supporting documentation is required to approve this accommodation. Customers approved for home delivery must provide a secure mail receptacle and ensure safe access to it.
