Mail to canada like any other letter; take it to the PO and have it weighed and sized for correct postate.

if all you're sending her is a christmas card, you'll just have to pay the postage on the envelope.
if you are looking to send a bit more than that, say a box with little things in it, just check with the post office to find out what is allowed and not allowed to be mailed.
The post office will be able to provide you with the most information - but all in all, it's really quite simple.

It will require extra postage and it will take longer to arrive than it would if you were sending it within the US (because it has to go through customs if it's a package). All you'd have to do is go to the post office and they will guide you through what you need to do and how much it will cost.

Take your card or package to the post office, pay the postage and they will send it.
There really isn't anything all that special about mailing something from US to Canada.
I would suggest going sometime soon to make sure you send early enough to make it to your friend.
Happy Holidays!

My brother lives in Canada. Just adress the envelope and take it to the post office. They will tell you what the postage will be and you pay them and they send it.

offcourse it will cost you money (unless you give it to someone who is going there). USPS states on their website that all international items go through security. Canada being outside USA, it will go through customs check as well.

i always go to one of those ups stores. no crowds or lines. they have ups, fed ex, dsl, and reg us mail available. they know all the regulations, etc. it's fast and easy and QUICK. and they will tell you which is the cheapest, and fastest, which trucks have already picked up today, so which other means is your best bet, etc. they are friendly and polite. it's great!!! there is one of those stores right by my grocery store, but they are everywhere -- just look in the phone book. it is so much easier than the post office. best of luck to you and happy holidays. grmmynet
