Where to find canada post tracking number
If you sent a package through Priority™, Xpresspost™, or Regular Parcel™ with delivery confirmation, the tracking number will be at the bottom of your tracking receipt.
If you sent your parcel to the U.S. or internationally, the tracking number will appear on your copy of the shipping label as well as on your receipt.
Tracking numbers are typically:
•11 or 13 alphanumeric characters ending in CA
•16 digits
What’s a reference number?
Senders create reference numbers for some packages. If a reference number is available for your package, you can contact the sender to request the unique number or description. If you ordered your package online, you may find a reference number in the shipping confirmation email from the sender.
What’s a Delivery Notice Card number?
A Delivery Notice Card number is made up of 15 digits and serves the same purpose as a tracking number. You can find your Delivery Notice Card number on the notification card you received in the mail.
Lost Canada Post Tracking Number - What To Do?
Unfortunately, due to privacy reasons, Canada Post cannot disclose tracking numbers even if customers provide the sender's or recipient's name and address. If customers cannot find their tracking number on a receipt or shipping label copy, Canada Post is unable to look it up.
Available Options
* Check emails thoroughly for shipping confirmations from the merchant or sender, as these typically contain the tracking number or tracking link
* Contact the sender to request the tracking number again
* If the package was tracked on the Canada Post website in the last 5 days and website cookies were enabled, customers can check "Track" to see if the tracking number is still saved
Additional Notes:
- Canada Post maintains strict privacy policies regarding tracking information
- Only the sender or designated recipient can access tracking details
- Tracking numbers are essential for package monitoring and should be safely stored
Package Shows "Delivered" But Not Received
If tracking shows a package or mail item as "Delivered" but it hasn't been received, Canada Post recommends following these steps:
1. Verify Package Address
Canada Post delivers items according to the address provided and attempts to correct any addressing issues. However, addresses cannot be corrected once items are in transit. Customers should verify the delivery address is correct and understand how packages with incorrect or missing address information are handled.
2. Check Delivery Locations
If the package is not at the front door, Canada Post recommends checking these locations:
| Delivery location | Where to look |
|---|---|
| Houses | Around the property - carriers may place packages in secure locations |
| Check with all household members | |
| Review tracking for signature verification | |
| Apartment Buildings | Personal mailbox |
| Parcel locker (key in mailbox) | |
| Security desk | |
| Building manager or concierge | |
| Business Addresses | Mail room |
| Reception or security | |
| Courier services or third parties | |
| Community Mailboxes | Personal mailbox compartment |
| Parcel compartment (key in mailbox) | |
| Large Institutions | Post office (final delivery point) |
| Safe Drop | Secure locations within property |
| Verify with household members |
Why Isn't My Canada Post Tracking Status Updating?
Canada Post understands customers may feel frustrated and concerned when unable to see the latest tracking updates for their packages. They assure that packages continue moving through their delivery network and are always transported to their final destination in the fastest and safest way possible.
How Canada Post Tracking Works:
Canada Post tracks package delivery status by scanning package barcodes. Typically, scanning occurs when packages first enter the system and again during transit. However, there may be periods of several days after departure where no new updates appear.
Why Updates May Be Delayed:
When packages move through Canada Post's delivery network, certain situations may prevent the display of current or past tracking events. However, a final scan will provide delivery confirmation when the package reaches its destination.
Canada Post Package Tracking Statuses
When you place an order online, it goes through various stages before reaching you. Each stage has a specific status that helps you track the progress of your order. Understanding these statuses can give you a clearer idea of where your order is in the delivery process. Here's a breakdown of common order tracking statuses and their meanings:
| Tracking Status | Description |
|---|---|
| In Transit | The package has been received and is on its way to the destination. |
| Out for Delivery | The package is en route to its final destination, with detailed progress shown below the delivery progress bar. |
| Notice Left | The package couldn’t be delivered and is at a post office for pickup, possibly due to absence, insufficient space, or sender’s instructions. |
| Delivery Attempt Made / Rescheduled | A delivery attempt was made but was unsuccessful. The next attempt is usually on the following business day. |
| Verifying Recipient's Address | An addressing error was found, and the delivery agent is verifying the recipient’s address, which may cause delays. |
| Check Delivery Progress | Delivery of the package has been interrupted. Refer to the delivery progress section for specific details. |
| Item Held by Customs | The package is under customs review, which can cause delays. Neither Canada Post nor the receiving postal administration can intervene. |
| Delivered as a Safe Drop | The package was delivered to a safe location at your address due to your unavailability. |
| Available for Pickup | The package has arrived safely at a post office and is ready for pickup. |
| Tracking Information Unavailable | There’s a delay in tracking information, or the package was sent using a service without tracking. |
