Keeping in touch
Mail your letter or small package either at a post office or in the red Canada Post mail boxes you will find on streets and in shopping malls all across Canada. Take large parcels to a post office. Canada Post offers many other services too, such as express delivery, postal money orders and insurance for very important mail. This insurance can protect your mail against loss or damage. Express delivery is more expensive than regular letter mail. Check the rates at the nearest Canada Post office. There are also private special delivery or courier services. Look these up under "Courier" in the yellow pages of the telephone book. Mail is distributed daily from Monday to Friday, except on official holidays. This includes home delivery, to post office boxes, or to community mail boxes. If you want to send a telegram, look up "Telegram Services" in the yellow pages for more information. From time to time you may wish to leave Canada to visit your relatives. As a permanent resident you must meet certain residency obligations to maintain your status. To comply with residency obligations you must accumulate two years of physical presence in Canada in every five-year period. Failure to comply with residency obligations may result in the loss of permanent residence status. Before you go, visit the CIC Web site at www.cic.gc.ca/english/pub/fs-residents.html or telephone the CIC Call Centre for more information.
