Postal money orders in Canada

Postal money orders in Canada - 19/02/2013 18:15

The Canada Post offices inside stores like Shoppers Drug Mart... are they full service? The hours are much more convenient (09:00-21:00 and weekend hours).

Can I get a postal money order in these locations during the weekend?

They are "full service" enough for nearly all needs, yes.
The local one around here says they have full service until 4pm on Saturdays, including issuing Postal Money Orders. I didn't ask about Sundays.

OK, thanks. I may need a Canadian money order and I'll be in Niagara Falls over an upcoming weekend. The post office that's literally in Niagara Falls doesn't have any weekend hours according to the website, but the drug stores in town do. Good to know I'll have an option.

How about 7-Eleven? In the US, some (maybe all) of them do money orders. That could be another option.

Dunno. The only places up here that I associate with "Money Orders" are banks and Post Offices.
