Effective November 29, 2024, the U.S. Postal Service temporarily suspended international mail destined for Canada. The decision was made in response to the foreign postal operator indicating their inability to process or deliver international mail or services because of the ongoing national strike by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.  As of December 10, 2024, the BNC contractor  began to bypass notices that specifically contain the word Canada in the last line of the address (these notices were not bypassed between November 15 and December 9, 2024). 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.  Canada Post reports that as of December 17, 2024, mail service has resumed but there will be delivery delays through the remainder of 2024 and into January 2025.
