Letter Carrier – Delivery Agent and Postal Clerk – Canada Post – Kenora, ON

Canada Post connects communities across the country, and right now they’re looking for a Letter Carrier / Delivery Agent and Postal Clerk to join their team in Kenora, Ontario. This is a temporary on-call position that puts you at the heart of mail and parcel delivery — a role that’s both physically engaging and community-facing.

Depending on operational needs, you may be called upon to work as an on-call delivery agent out on your route, or as an on-call postal clerk inside a sorting facility. Both roles are part of keeping Canada’s mail system running smoothly, and both offer a genuine foot in the door with one of Canada’s largest employers.

About the Role: Letter Carrier – Delivery Agent and Postal Clerk

As a delivery agent, your day kicks off at the depot where you’ll sort and prepare parcels before loading up a Canada Post postal vehicle and heading out on your assigned route. You’ll spend much of your shift outdoors, delivering mail and packages to residential and business customers — rain, shine, or snow. At the end of the day, you return to the depot to unload incoming mail for the next delivery cycle.

As a postal clerk, your work takes place inside a sorting facility, where accuracy and efficiency matter. You’ll handle sorting, scanning, sequencing, and dispatching of mail and parcels, operate material handling equipment, and complete the necessary documentation. Shifts can include evenings, nights, and weekends, making flexibility a key part of the role.

Benefits and Salary

This position offers a salary of $23.81 per hour, along with extensive classroom and on-the-job training to set you up for success. Canada Post also offers genuine opportunities for permanent employment — this on-call role is frequently a stepping stone to a long-term career within the organization. The company is known for promoting from within and supporting employee growth across different areas of the business.
