Tracking a Canadian package is an easy and convenient process. When a package is shipped via the Canadian Post a tracking number is issued which can be used to either track the package online or if internet access is not available, the tracking number can be brought into any post office where it can be tracked. This article will focus on the process to track a package with the Canadian Post website, www.canadapost.ca.After a shipping service has been purchased which includes tracking (i.e. delivery confirmation), a tracking number that is linked to the bar code on that item is issued. The tracking number can be found on the shipping label or on the purchase receipt. A Tracking Number is either 16 numeric digits or 13 alpha-numeric digits. Going to the Canada Post website, click on the "Track" tab. Clicking on that tab will load a page with an easy to use user interface with a box to enter one or more tracking numbers. Once the tracking number, or numbers, is entered a simple click on the "track" button will bring up the most current information including when the package order was created in the system and received by Canada Post.Once the item is delivered and the information is uploaded into the system, the tracking tool will indicate that the item has either been delivered or, a Delivery Notice Card has been issued. A Delivery Notice Card merely lets the recipient know that the package is available for pick-up. Where applicable, a signature image or signatory name is available to view online. Occasionally, the tracking tool will not have available or up to date information when a package is sent from or to a remote destination. Tracking information may also be delayed when a package is sent to an international location due to the added wait for the international postal service to update their systems. The Canada Post strives to make sure it has current information available for all customers.
