The cost of mailing a letter in Canada is going up three cents on Monday to 57 cents.
Letters going to the United States will cost two cents more, rising to $1, while international rates will rise five cents to $1.70.
Canada Post spokesman John Caines tells 660News it's part of a five-year plan. Domestic stamp rates will continue to increase two cents a year from 2011 to 2014.
The postal service says some of the additional revenue will be used to invest in new machinery and other infrastructure.
