USA to Canada: you may need to add more stamps to your letter to cover postage internationally. Consult your post office or the USPS website to check price for your letter, which goes on weight, size etc
Canada to USA: your SASE will either need Canadian stamps to return it to you, or you will need to include IRC (which they swap at their post office for stamps). This is also dependant on size/weight of envelope, but I would guess 2.

I use $1 stamps for SASEs enclosing 5x7 photos. And for SASE's with 8x10 I would use 4 Forever stamps. It depends more on weight though, so if you can best bet is to take your letter and everything to be weighed at the post office before sending off.

The SASE cannot use Forever stamps, they must be Canadian stamps or enclose IRC.

Sorry you're right. lol I started talking about sending from Canada to USA. Got a little confused. An SASE to USA
FROM Canada is $1.00 for 5x7 and $2.00 for 8x10.
