The postal operator recommends the following dates based on shipping methods:
Regular parcels:

National: December 8 to December 18
Priority and Xpresspost parcels:
Local: December 21
Regional: December 21
National: December 20
Expedited parcels:

Canada Post emphasizes that these dates are for shipping between major urban centers, and estimated send-off and arrival times depend on the origin and destination, with some restrictions. For holiday cards within Canada, send them locally by December 19, regionally by December 18, and nationally by December 15.

When shipping to the U.S. or internationally, specific deadlines are provided on Canada Post's website for various sending destinations.
