Can I use US stamps in Canada?

Can I use U.S. stamps to mail postcards from Canada to U.S.? What's the price?

  • I'm an American going on a trip to Canada and would like to bring stamps to use to mail postcards to friends back home rather than try to find a place to buy them there. Thanks.

  • Answer:

    You'll need Canadian stamps...the current rate to send a postcard or letter to the USA is actually $1.03 -you can buy regular 59 cent stamps (generally for use within Canada only-as that is the current domestic postal rate) at many convenience stores and just put 2 on the postcard -you "waste " 15 cents but otherwise to buy a 1.03 stamp you have to go stand in line at a post office somewhere. http://www.canadapost.ca/cpo/mc/personal/productsservices/send/lettersdocuments.jsf

No you can't use American stamps to mail letters from Canada. You can get stamps from any post office in Canada or call Canada post and order a booklet of stamps sent to you before you leave. The toll free out of country number is 1-902-863-6550. If you have a hotel booked you might ask if they sell stamps to their patrons.

Sorry, you will have to use Canadian stamps. The stamp for post card is $.59 each.

of course you cant, you use the stamps from the country your posting from,so in your case you use Canadian stamps

You don't need to go looking for a post office, it is a little more convenient to get stamps than you might realize. The Canadian post office has out sourced/contracted out many of their postal services to major chain drug stores. Some stores have an outlet (for example Shopper's Drug Mart) for mail services. Sometimes the front counter will sell you stamps, too.

Canada and USA are different countries. We can't use Canadian, or Brazilian, or any other stamp in USA; same works for being in Canada.

No. American stamps have no validity in Canada. You can buy stamps at a Canadian post office for $1.03 Canadian.
