You’ll have to apply for a Canada Post account and complete and submit a credit application to CPC (Canada Post Corporation). After you receive a customer number, apply for a permit number for each type of mailing. Once the mailing has been prepared, pack in appropriate containers. Complete a Statement of Mailing (SOM) and take the mailing to RVU or another approved depot. It is highly recommended that you contact a mail preparation expert or lettershop to assist with this if you do not have experience already in this area.

And again, we recommend contacting a mail preparation expert or lettershop to assist if you are new to this.
