On-the-move Canadians can change their address online at smartmoves
Canada Post handled more than 290,000 change of address requests for Quebec in 2005 and more than 302,000 in 2006.
With more than 116 million items a year redirected throughout Canada, Canada Post, through its change of address service, provides an affordable service that is among the most reliable.
It is well known that the months of June and July are a feverish period punctuated by many moves for people in Quebec. Between boxes, moving out, renovations, decorating and moving in, you want to make sure that your regular mail and even your occasional mail (financial statements, license renewals, memberships or subscriptions, annual reports and product recall notices) are delivered.
Before moving, the person can go into one of the Canadian Post outlets to fill out a Change of Address Notification.
The online change of address service is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Smartmoves TM program (www.smartmoves.ca) will provide an user-friendly checklist. Is is also possible to send virtual cards free to friends and family to notify them of the new address.
Smartmoves was the trademark of Toronto-based Taylor Made Publishing Limited, which managed the smartmoves booklet and website from 1997. Canada Post recently purchased smartmoves and has redeveloped the website into the “one-stop-shop” for Canadians on the move.
