Job Description
Canada Post is an exciting place to work! And you can be part of it!
We deliver billions of items to Canadians each year – and you can play an integral role in making this happen. As online shopping grows, we have a number of opportunities for Class 3/D professional drivers with an appropriate provincial Air Brake Endorsement to be part of our dynamic team. As a temporary, on-call Mail Service Courier, you will join a team of drivers who are available to work locally on short notice. All drivers have an equal chance of being called for work. You will use a corporate vehicle to pick up and deliver mail and load/unload postal vehicles, ultimately playing an important role in ensuring customer satisfaction.
Does this sound like you? The role of Mail Service Courier would be a great fit if you:
• are a safe driver
• enjoy being behind the wheel
• like working on your own
• can meet deadlines
• take pride in serving your community
Job Responsibilities
What will you do?
• You will load and unload postal vehicles while keeping mail and Canada Post property safe and secure at all times
• You will collect, sort and deliver mail
• You will operate portable communications devices
• You will perform vehicle safety checks
Job Responsibilities (continued)
• You will complete documentation and maintain records
• You will communicate with customers and the public
• You will shuttle corporate delivery vehicles between parking location and loading platforms to facilitate pre-loading.
Qualifications
What must you have?
• A valid Class 3/D driver’s licence (or higher) with the appropriate provincial air brake endorsements
• A safe driving record for at least 3 years (recent driver’s abstract or a commercial driver’s abstract dated within the last 30 days will be required)
• The physical ability to lift mail items weighing up to 22.7 kg (50 lb)
• The availability to work on short notice
This would help, too!
• Experience in customer service
• Experience as professional driver in commercial delivery
• Experience driving a 5 ton truck or larger
In return, we offer:
• Competitive pay
• On-the-job training
• Opportunities for permanent employment

What is the median hourly wage for licensed plumbers in Canada as of 2026?
According to Employment and Social Development Canada, the median hourly wage for plumbers in Canada is CAD 36.50 as of January 2026, with entry-level rates starting at CAD 28.75 per hour in most provinces. Overtime applies after 44 hours per week at 1.5 times the regular rate in Ontario and similar rules in other provinces. These figures exclude union premiums which can add CAD 5-8 per hour.
What work permit is required for foreign plumbers to work legally in Canada in 2026?
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada requires foreign plumbers to obtain a work permit under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, with a valid Labour Market Impact Assessment from Service Canada dated no older than 6 months. Applicants must also hold a valid Red Seal endorsement or provincial certificate and apply through the IRCC portal before arrival. Processing takes 8-12 weeks as of 2026.

Employment and Social Development Canada states that plumbers must complete a 4-5 year apprenticeship program with 7200 hours of on-the-job training plus 720 hours of technical training, followed by the Red Seal exam. Provincial trade certification from bodies like Skilled Trades Ontario is mandatory before independent work. No experience exemptions apply after 2025 regulatory updates.
