HI! I have a question. I live in the U.S. Can you use US stamps on a letter to send to canada?

If you mean can you put a U.S. stamp on a letter YOU are SENDING to Canada, then yes lol

But if you meant that you put a U.S. Stamp on the RETURNING envelope, then no.

Yes, US stamps work when sending to Canada or anywhere else in the world, as long as you have enough postage - usually 90 cents (standard envelope). Not for your SASE, though. Anyone know if you can get Canadian stamps from the US yet? So far I've heard nothing but dead ends :(

Great! Thanx!!! So, I guess you would have to put Canadian stamps on the return envelope?

Correct! You could also send a dollar or 2 - concealed cash. That's what I do. It costs less than IRC's and I can't find any anyways. As far as I know, you can't purchase Canadian stamps online. Maybe someone might be willing to trade you for US stamps. Good luck!

You can't get canadian stamps in the U.S. unless a dealer brings them from Canada and sells them. IRC's are not good as they are a waste of money entirely.

Best way to buy Canadian stamps are to ask someone from Canada to buy them and then ship them to you. Even Canada Post only sells online to Canadian Residents.

Might I state that sending Canadian dollars would be convinient for the other person in canada as it would be easier to send through the post office. However, if you send in U.S. Dollars, there maybe slight delays and such, perhaps, with you request. i usually prefer sending in the currency of the country I am sending to. Stamps are the safest, but your choice.

true. That is just my opinion. IT is alot of work, but well worth it. I leave that to you guys. The above statement was my opinion, nothing more.
