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

This position covers two distinct functions depending on the assignment. As a Delivery Agent (Letter Carrier), you’ll be the face of Canada Post in the community — sorting mail at the depot, loading a Canada Post postal vehicle, and spending the bulk of your day delivering mail and packages by foot or by vehicle along your route. At the end of the day, you’ll return to the depot to unload incoming items for the next round of deliveries.

As a Postal Clerk, you’ll be based inside a sorting facility, handling mail across a variety of shifts including evenings, nights, and weekends. The work involves operating material handling equipment, sorting and scanning mail, sequencing and batching items, and completing required documentation. Both roles demand physical stamina, reliability, and the ability to work in a fast-paced operational environment.

Benefits and Salary

Canada Post offers a competitive wage of $23.81/hour for this position. In addition to pay, you’ll receive extensive classroom and on-the-job training covering both your day-to-day duties and workplace safety.
