First Day Covers
Customers wishing to have their own first day cover cancelled are to forward the self-addressed cover to the National Philatelic Centre in Antigonish. The cover is to be mailed early enough to arrive at the destination for the first day of sale of the new stamp. A charge per cover is levied for stamp affixing, cancellation and return through the regular mail service.
Cancellation of first day covers is available free of charge to Customers who take their cover to a philatelic counter.
On request, philatelists may obtain a clear cancellation or philatelic covers by handing in at a post office a cover bearing a complete and valid postal address and sufficient postage to enable such mail items to be forwarded to the addressee through regular mail delivery channels.
Such requests received by a postmaster for cancellation and reposting will be complied with only if the volume of the covers does not disrupt regular postal services.
Pictorial Cancels
Pictorial cancels are available from the respective post offices across Canada. To obtain any of the available cancels, send an envelope and/or cover stamped with proper postage inside another stamped envelope addressed to the postmaster of the desired post office.
A self-addressed envelope with appropriate postage must also be enclosed to allow for the cancelled envelopes to be returned by mail. Postmasters reserve the right to limit quantities.
