Most Canadian $0.63 stamps no longer usually spell out the denomination. They are still good for one letter even if the price rises. In Canada such stamps are called permanent stamps. In the USA they are called forever stamps. In the UK they are called non-value indicated stamps.

You could use FastStone Capture to snapshot either of the two panels above and print them out on card stock and store them with your postage stamps.

Mail Forwarding

Many American companies will only ship to the USA. You can use a forwarding service such as MyUs who give you an American mailing address, and they forward any mail or packages you receive via DHL Express, FedEx Priority, USPS Express Mail or USPS Priority Mail.

If you want your message, your name or email kept confidential, not considered for public posting, please explicitly specify that. Unless you state otherwise, I will treat your message as a letter to the editor that I may or may not publish in the feedback section. After that, it will be too late to retract it. If you disagree with something I said, especially when sending an ad-hominem attack, a rant composed mainly of obscenities or a death threat, please quote the offending passage and cite the web page where you found it, tell me why you think it is wrong, and, if possible, provide some supporting evidence. I can’t very well fix erroneous or ambiguous text if I can’t find it.
