Send a letter or photos to a loved one in Canada

Not everyone has a smartphone. For an elderly parent, a relative in a care home or someone who simply loves getting mail, a real letter means a lot — even sent from the other side of the world.

A letter, without stationery or stamps

Write your letter in Word or on your phone, add photos in the same document, and export it as a PDF. We print it and mail it to your loved one's address.

For someone whose eyesight isn't what it was, use a large font: 14 or 16 points reads much better on paper.

Photos

Choose colour. Photos are printed on Letter-size paper, not glossy photo paper. To have them arrive without a crease, choose the flat envelope.

How it works

  1. Prepare the letter and photosOne PDF, or a single JPG or PNG photo.
  2. Enter your loved one's addressIncluding the room or unit number if they live in a residence.
  3. Choose colour and the envelope“Large 9×12 · flat” to avoid folding the photos.
  4. We print and mailWithin 24 business hours. Delivery in 3 to 7 business days.
