Letters & packages
Cross-border packages from the U.S. may incur duties and brokerage fees; USPS (handed to Canada Post) is often cheaper than couriers.
- Your missionary can email weekly on P-day; letters and packages are optional extras.
- Confirm the current mailing address with the mission office or the call packet before sending — offices move.
- Small, padded envelopes usually travel faster and cheaper than boxes; declare contents honestly and avoid restricted items.
- Mail-by dates for holidays and a calendar reminder are in the interactive guide.
