On September 26, 2025, Canada Post announced a nationwide shutdown due to labor actions involving the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. As a result, delivery of bankruptcy notices from the U.S. Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) to recipients in Canada has been disrupted. Since that date, notices sent to Canadian addresses have been held at the U.S.–Canada border and will not be delivered until the postal strike concludes. As of October 2, 2025, the BNC contractor has begun to bypass notices that specifically contain the word Canada in the last line of the address (these notices were not bypassed between September 26 and October 1, 2025). Bypassed addresses are then indicated as such on the BNC Certificate of Notice. As part of the bypass process, the BNC notifies the debtor’s attorney of mail that is bypassed as undeliverable, and the BNC notifies the court if the debtor is pro se and for adversary proceedings.
