The Government of Canada understands how important it is for Canadians to continue to receive the benefits and services they need in the event of a Canada Post labour disruption. That’s why we are encouraging all Canadians to set up a My Service Canada Account (MSCA) and sign up for direct deposit if they have not done so already. Signing up for direct deposit will ensure the timely delivery of benefits, as the delivery of physical cheques by mail may be impacted in the event of a Canada Post labour disruption. Through MSCA, clients can access many services for the benefits they receive from home.
